Delta Air Lines, Inc., continues to be a potentially responsible party with respect to certain Superfund Sites, according to the Company's February 13, 2013, Form 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company states: "We had been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a PRP with respect to certain Superfund Sites, and entered into consent decrees or settlements regarding some of these sites. Our alleged disposal volume at each of these sites was small or was considered de minimis when compared to the total contributions of all PRPs at each site. "We are aware of soil and/or ground water contamination present on our current or former leaseholds at several domestic airports. To address this contamination, we have a program in place to investigate and, if appropriate, remediate these sites. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. "We are also subject to various other federal, state and local laws governing environmental matters, including the management and disposal of chemicals, waste and hazardous materials, protection of surface and subsurface waters and regulation of air emissions and aircraft drinking water." Delta Air Lines, Inc., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, provides scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo throughout the U.S. and around the world.
