$68.6 million and $57.2 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The recoveries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, are recorded as either an offset to the “Environmental liabilities, continuing and discontinued” totaling $16.9 million and $20.1 million or as “Other 

assets” totaling $51.7 million and $37.1 million in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Cash recoveries for the years 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $14.6 million, $13.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively. 

The table below is a rollforward of our total environmental reserves, continuing and discontinued from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2010.

(1) “Current” includes only those reserves related to continuing operations. These amounts are included within “Accrued and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. 

Our total environmental reserves, before recoveries, include $230.8 million and $186.8 million for remediation activities and $11.0 million and $17.4 million for RI/FS costs at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the years 2010, 2009 and 2008, we charged $35.6 million, $33.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively, against established reserves for remediation spending, and $4.9 million, $7.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively, against reserves for spending on RI/FS. We anticipate that the remediation and RI/FS expenditures for current operating, previously operated and other sites will continue to be significant for the foreseeable future. 

In 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded net environmental provisions totaling $52.3 million, $27.3 million and $37.2 million, respectively. Th  e environmental provisions recorded in 2010, 2009 and 2008, included $76.1 million, $47.5 million and $48.7 million recorded as an increase to our environmental reserves, and $23.8 million, $17.6 million and $9.6 million recorded as a recovery in “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no recoveries recorded directly to “Discontinued operations, net of income taxes” on our consolidated statements of income while $2.6 million and $1.9 million of recoveries were recorded directly to this line item for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These provisions related to costs for the continued cleanup of both operating sites and for certain discontinued manufacturing operations from previous years. 

## Front Royal 

On October 21, 1999, the Federal District Court for the Western District of Virginia approved a Consent Decree signed by FMC, the EPA (Region III) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) regarding past response costs and future clean-up work at the discontinued fi ber- manufacturing site in Front Royal, Virginia. In January 2010, the EPA issued a ROD for Operable Unit 7 (OU-7) primarily addressing waste basins and ground water, which is the last remaining operable unit to be remediated at the site. The current reserve includes a provision for OU-7 and previously approved work for other operable units under the Consent Decree. As part of a prior settlement, government agencies have reimbursed us for approximately one-third of the clean-up costs due to the government’s role at the site, and we expect reimbursement to continue in the future. The amount of the reserve for this site was $28.5 million and $31.1 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. 

## Pocatello 

We have successfully decommissioned our Pocatello plant, completed closure of the RCRA ponds and formally requested that EPA acknowledge completion of work under a June 1999 RCRA Consent Decree. Future remediation costs include completion of one of the CERCLA remedies identifi ed in the Supplemental Feasibility Study (SFS) that addresses ground water contamination and existing waste disposal areas on the Pocatello plant portion of the Eastern Michaud Flats Superfund Site. In April 2010, the EPA presented their recommended alternative from
