(1) For sites where HSMA recovery is available, the Utility expects to recover 90% of the costs associated with environmental remediation through rates.
(2) The Utility is legally responsible for remediating groundwater contamination caused by hexavalent chromium used in the past at the Utility’s natural gas compressor stations. The Utility is also required to take measures to abate the effects of the contamination on the environment. At the Topock site, the Utility completed the initial phase of construction on an in-situ groundwater treatment system in 2021, and additional construction will continue for several years.
(3) Former MGPs used coal and oil to produce gas for use by the Utility’s customers before natural gas became available. The by-products and residues of this process were often disposed of at the MGPs themselves. The Utility has a program to manage the residues left behind as a result of the manufacturing process; many of the sites in the program have been addressed.
(4) Utility-owned generation facilities and third-party disposal sites often involve long-term remediation.
(5) The Utility sold its fossil-fueled generation power plants in 1998 but retains the environmental remediation liability associated with each site.
