Specifically, we requested authority to construct and operate approximately 21,540 horsepower of new compression at Compressor Station 302 located in Montgomery County, Texas, and related auxiliary facilities at Compressor Station 343 located in Liberty County, Texas. The project will create 300,000 dekatherms per day of incremental firm capacity on our existing mainline facilities along the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast region.

Although no assurance can be given, we believe, based on our experiences to date and taking into account established reserves, that the ultimate resolution of such items will not have a material adverse impact to our business. We believe we have numerous and substantial defenses to the matters to which we are a party and intend to vigorously defend the Company. When we determine a loss is probable of occurring and is reasonably estimable, we accrue an undiscounted liability for such contingencies based on our best estimate using information available at that time. If the estimated loss is a range of potential outcomes and there is no better estimate within the range, we accrue the amount at the low end of the range. We disclose contingencies where an adverse outcome may be material or, in the judgment of management, we conclude the matter should otherwise be disclosed.</font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial; -aw-import: ignore;"> <br/></font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial;">We had no accruals for any outstanding legal proceedings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.</font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial; -aw-import: ignore;"> <br/></font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic;">Environmental Matters</font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial; -aw-import: ignore;"> <br/></font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial;">We are subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions from time to time. In particular, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act generally imposes joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs on current and predecessor owners and operators of a site, among others, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, subject to the right of a liable party to establish a "reasonable basis" for apportionment of costs. Our operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our operations, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities. Moreover, it is possible that other developments could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies under the terms of authority of those laws, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations.</font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial; -aw-import: ignore;"> <br/></font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 16pt;"><font style="font-family: Arial;">Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcomes, we believe that the resolution of the environmental matters, and other matters to which we are a party, will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
