Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is the defendant and plaintiff in various lawsuits resulting from its operations. In the opinion of management, appropriate provisions have been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the estimated liability that is probable from disposition of such matters. The Company maintains comprehensive liability insurance for bodily injury and property claims, but is self-insured or maintains a significant self-insured retention for these exposures. In September 2006, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FDEP”) notified the Company and an adjacent property owner that they had been identified as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) as a result of an investigation into contaminated groundwater in Fort Pierce, Florida. As of March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the alleged contamination. Of the $1.5 million accrued at March 31, 2013, $0.2 million is expected to be paid over the next year. FDEP and the Company agreed in April 2012 that the Company’s scope of testing is complete and the Company can initiate a pilot remediation of the property. The Company has completed a competitive review of remediation proposals and selected a contractor to begin the pilot in early 2013. In addition to the above site, the Company monitors a small number of other sites leased to others, or acquired by the Company or its subsidiaries. Based on management’s ongoing review and monitoring of these sites, and the ability to seek contribution or indemnification from the PRPs, the Company does not expect to incur material additional costs. It is difficult to quantify future environmental costs as many issues relate to actions by third parties or changes in environmental regulations. However, based on information presently available, management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the financial position, liquidity, or results of operations of the Company. In addition, the Company had accrued approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million related to various other environmental incidents as of March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively.
