Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In August 2019, the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health’s Hazardous Material Division (the “Division”) notified us that one of SeaWorld’s underground storage tanks was allegedly operating in violation of various California laws and regulations regarding leak detection and secondary containment systems. We hired environmental consultants, engineers and attorneys to assist in investigating the allegations and addressing our obligations. The subject tank has been removed and soil samples revealed no evidence of contamination. We continue to work with the Division in resolving and closing the matter and do not expect the resolution including any penalties or offsetting projects to have a material impact on the business or operations.
See Note 10–Commitments and Contingencies under the caption “Legal Proceedings” in our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details concerning our other legal proceedings.
