Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities	8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities The EPA issued Notices of Violations (“NOVs”) for the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities which stemmed from alleged violations of air operating permits for these facilities. We are working in a cooperative manner with the EPA, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to address the allegations, and have entered into a consent decree in federal district court with these parties. The consent decree includes a $2.2 million civil penalty payment that was paid by SunCoke in 2014, as well as capital projects underway to improve the reliability of the energy recovery systems and enhance environmental performance at the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities. An amendment was lodged in February 2018 and entered by the federal district court in July 2018. The amendment provides the Haverhill and Granite City facilities with additional time to perform necessary maintenance on the flue gas desulfurization systems without exceeding consent decree limits. The emissions associated with this maintenance will be mitigated in accordance with the amendment, and there are no civil penalty payments associated with this amendment. The project at Granite City was due to be completed in February 2019, but we now expect to complete the project in July 2019 and are in discussions with the government entities regarding, among other things, the timing thereof. We retained an aggregate of $119 million in proceeds from the Partnership's IPO and subsequent dropdowns to fund the environmental remediation projects at the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, any amounts that we spend on these projects in excess of the $119 million will be reimbursed by SunCoke. Prior to our formation, SunCoke spent approximately $7 million related to these projects. We have spent approximately $125 million to date and the remaining capital is expected to be spent through the first half of 2019. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, SunCoke, through the general partner, made a capital contribution of $10 million to us during the first quarter of 2018 for these known environmental remediation projects. SunCoke expects to make additional capital contributions to us of approximately $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 and approximately $5 million in the first half of 2019 for the estimated future spending related to these environmental remediation projects. The Partnership is a party to certain other pending and threatened claims, including matters related to commercial and tax disputes, product liability, employment claims, personal injury claims, premises-liability claims, allegations of exposures to toxic substances and general environmental claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some portion of these claims could be resolved unfavorably to the Partnership. Management of the Partnership believes that any liability which may arise from claims would not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
