Honeywell 2008 Annual Report Download - page 19

Among other environmental requirements, we are subject to the federal superfund and similar state and
foreign laws and regulations, under which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party that may
be liable for cleanup costs associated with current and former operating sites and various hazardous waste sites,
some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund priority list. Although, under some
court interpretations of these laws, there is a possibility that a responsible party might have to bear more than its
proportional share of the cleanup costs if it is unable to obtain appropriate contribution from other responsible
parties, we have not had to bear significantly more than our proportional share in multi-party situations taken as a
whole.
Further information, including the current status of significant environmental matters and the financial impact
incurred for remediation of such environmental matters, if any, is included in "Item 7. Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," and in "Item 1A. Risk Factors."
