DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


The Company has previously either sold or discontinued certain operations that are accounted for as "Discontinued Operations" under the applicable accounting guidance. The Company has certain contingent obligations directly related to such operations, primarily related to self-insured workers' compensation and environmental liabilities. Costs related to these obligations for those businesses are classified as discontinued operations.  Discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

Workers' Compensation


Undiscounted reserves are maintained for the self-insured workers' compensation obligations. Such reserves are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Pre-tax cost incurred for workers' compensation as a component of discontinued operations was $0 and $34 for the three months ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, respectively and $23 and $102 for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, respectively.


Environmental Remediation


Reserves for environmental remediation obligations are established on a undiscounted basis. The Company has ongoing expense at five previously owned sites that were associated with its discontinued textile businesses. Each of these sites contains relatively low levels of ground or ground water contaminants. Each site has a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") with the applicable authoritative state regulatory body responsible for oversight for environmental compliance and the Company contracts with third party qualified environmental specialists for related remediation, monitoring and reporting for each location. The CAP for four of these sites involves natural attentuation (degradation of the contaminants through naturally occurring events) over periods currently estimated at 10 to 20 years and the CAP on the remaining site involves a pump and treat remediation process, currently estimated to be remediated over a period of 20 to 30 years.


Additionally, the Company has an environmental liability related to the property of a facility and related business that was sold in 2004. The CAP was approved in 2010 and is currently estimated to remediate over a 7 year period.


Pre-tax cost for environmental remediation obligations classified as discontinued operations was $67 and $55 for the three months ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, respectively and $76 and $90 for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, respectively.
