The EPA has notified a company of violations of environmental laws relating to hazardous waste. These actions seek cleanup costs, penalties, and damages to property. The company is reasonably certain there will be cost associated with the cleanup, but cannot estimate the amount. The cleanup cost could be as high as $4,130,000 or as little as $630,000 and insurance could reimburse all or part of the cost. There is no way to more accurately estimate the cost to the company at this time. 3. Holland Company does not carry property damage insurance because of the cost.
