We expensed $14.7 million, $28.5 million and $13.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for environmental remediation obligations. The accrued environmental liability reflected in our consolidated balance sheets was $98.1 million and $104.5 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which $83.5 million and $81.8 million, respectively, were classified as other long-term liabilities. These accruals include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time (up to 30 years for certain projects). The amount of our accrued liability could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.
