We expensed $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, for environmental remediation obligations, and we expensed $25 thousand and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The accrued environmental liability, net of expected recoveries from indemnifying parties, reflected in our consolidated balance sheets was $5.8 million and $6.3 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, of which $3.8 million and $4.3 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.

Under the Omnibus Agreement and certain transportation agreements and purchase agreements with HFC, HFC has agreed to indemnify us, subject to certain monetary and time limitations, for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with certain assets transferred to us from HFC and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers. Our consolidated balance sheets included additional accrued environmental liabilities of $0.5 million for HFC indemnified liabilities for both periods ending September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and other assets included equal and offsetting balances representing amounts due from HFC related to indemnifications for environmental remediation liabilities.
