8.     Divestitures, Asset Impairments and Unusual Items

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a $17 million charge in the first quarter in our Corporate and Other segment to adjust an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary’s estimated potential share of the liability for a proposed environmental remediation plan at a closed site, as discussed in Note 6.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized net charges of $17 million in the first quarter consisting of (i) a $19 million charge pertaining to reserves for loss contingencies in our Corporate and Other segment and (ii) $6 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to our WM Renewable Energy business within our Other segment, which were partially offset by an $8 million gain from divestitures of certain ancillary operations in our Other segment.
