Other Income and Expenses [Abstract]
Other	OTHER. During 2012, we capitalized $8.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of project feasibility costs associated with the Rockaway Delivery Lateral Project and the Northeast Connector Project, which had been expensed in prior periods in Other expense, net, upon determining that the projects were probable of development. During 2011, we capitalized $10.1 million of project feasibility costs associated with the Northeast Supply Link Expansion Project, which had been expensed in prior periods in Other expense, net, upon determining that the project was probable of development. These costs will be included in the capital costs of the projects, which we believe are probable of recovery through the projects’ rates. We detected a leak in an underground cavern at our Eminence Storage Field in Mississippi on December 28, 2010. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $4.3 million, $2.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively, of charges to Operation and maintenance expenses primarily related to costs to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Due to the abandonment and retirement of four of the seven caverns at our Eminence Storage Field in 2013 and the expected recovery of such costs in our rates, we have reclassified $92 million of costs related to the Eminence ARO from Total property, plant and equipment, net to Regulatory assets (Eminence abandonment regulatory asset). Included in Other expense, net, for the year 2013, consistent with the Agreement in our Docket No. RP12-993 general rate case proceeding, is a charge of $11.5 million, related to the portion of the Eminence abandonment regulatory asset that will not be recovered in rates. We have also recognized income during 2013 of $16.1 million, related to insurance recoveries associated with this event.
