Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $1,156,369 and $3,527,645, respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense during the 2026 period was primarily attributable to the July 2025 divestiture of Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC and Equipment Transport, LLC, as well as revisions to the estimated useful lives of certain property and equipment based on operational experience and expected usage. The change in estimate was accounted for prospectively and resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $405,000 during the period.

 

Construction in process primarily relates to the Company’s remediation processing systems, wash plant facilities, and terminal expansion projects.
