What to do about MtBE?
By Jon Greenberg on Monday, July 25, 2005.
The gasoline additive has contaminated drinking supplies in New Hampshire, and across the country. And there have been over 150 lawsuits filed against MTBE makers. Efforts from Congressmen in Washington to protect MTBE manufacturers from lawsuits have failed, most recently in a major upset this past weekend. Jon Greenberg guest hosts. He's joined by Eric Olson, Senior Attorney at the Natural Resource Defense Council, and Scott Segal, an attorney with the law firm Bracewell and Giuliani. We will also hear from Maureen Smith, New Hampshire's Assistant Attorney General. Click here to see the percentage of water supplies in NH with detectable amounts of MtBE.

Our well has MBTE it was found when we had a home inspection done during the sale in June. We since have lost the sale and we are trying to still sell it.The most recent offer is for half of what it sold for in June.The State came in and installed a system so we can drink and bath with the water but I don't know what were going to do now. The other wells in the area have been tested and have found no MBTE .There is a new development across the street but nobody is checking there water.
