James M. Tarr, CG, PG, LSP and Adam M. Galonski, PG, LSP, Corporate Environmental Advisors

ABSTRACT

 

Recent groundwater contaminant concentration data from twenty-five (25) active retail gasoline stations in New Hampshire were compared with historic data from the same sites to evaluate the overall impact of the State of New Hampshire banning the use of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE) on January 1, 2007 as a part of its Oxygen Flexible Reformulated Gasoline (OFRFG) program.  The data was statistically evaluated to determine the efficacy of eliminating MtBE from supply tanks.  Preliminary findings will be discussed as well as outlining the long term study plans.
