Projects with Ongoing Study and Scope Development -
Projects which are still in the development phase. For these projects, the extent of remediation that may be required is not yet known, the remediation methods and plans are not yet developed, and/or cost estimates cannot be determined. Therefore, significant costs, in addition to the accrued liabilities for these projects, are reasonably possible. There are five environmental remediation projects where additional costs for completion are not currently estimable, but could be material. These projects are at Fairfield Works, Lorain Tubular, USS-POSCO Industries (UPI), the Fairless Plant, and the former steelmaking plant at Joliet, Illinois. As of
March 31, 2017
, accrued liabilities for these projects totaled
$1 million
for the costs of studies, investigations, interim measures, design and/or remediation. It is reasonably possible that additional liabilities associated with future requirements regarding studies, investigations, design and remediation for these projects could be as much as
$25 million
to
$40 million
.
|
(2)
|
Significant Projects with Defined Scope -
Projects with significant accrued liabilities with a defined scope. As of
March 31, 2017
, there are
three
significant projects with defined scope greater than or equal to
$5 million
each, with a total accrued liability of
$138 million
. These projects are Gary RCRA (accrued liability of
$27 million
), the former Geneva facility (accrued liability of
$63 million
), and the former Duluth facility St. Louis River Estuary (accrued liability of
$48 million
).
|
(3)
|
Other Projects with a Defined Scope -
Projects with relatively small accrued liabilities for which we believe that, while additional costs are possible, they are not likely to be significant, and also include those projects for which we do not yet possess sufficient information to estimate potential costs to U. S. Steel. There are
two
other environmental remediation projects which each had an accrued liability of between
$1 million
and
$5 million
. The total accrued liability for these projects at
March 31, 2017
was
$4 million
. These projects have progressed through a significant portion of the design phase and material additional costs are not expected.

Includes all legal actions pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission, together with the Administrative Law Judges thereof, for each of our iron ore operations. These actions may have been initiated in prior quarters. All of the legal actions were initiated by us to contest citations, orders or proposed assessments issued by the Federal Mine Safety and Health administration, and if we are successful, may result in the reduction or dismissal of those citations, orders or assessments. As of the last day of the period, all 144 legal actions were to contest citations and proposed assessments.
