After passage of the U.S. Clean Air Act in 1990, MTBE became widely used as a gasoline oxygenate. Because of concern that gasoline spills containing MTBE may be impacting public drinking water, public water supply operators will be required to test for MTBE on a quarterly basis starting this July. Under the legislation, a public water supply operator must maintain a record of the testing and, if the results of any test, indicate the presence of MTBE in excess of 15 parts per billion, the operator must immediately notify the Department of Health and the Department of Environmental Quality.
