Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $1 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2021. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2021 and 2022.
Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2020 at a cost of $60 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method, assuming a four-year useful life.
