Quotes

"There’s not a smoking gun out there. The tanks were tested afterwards, and passed the testing, they met the regulatory threshold. In our experience, when you have cases where there is a lot of MTBE and not a lot of other gasoline components, they’re vapor releases. In this area we’re trying to capture vapor when people are pumping gas, and there are small leaks over time that get out through fittings that have likely led to the release. There was not a hole in the tank, or anything like what we call a ‘catastrophic release’ where you have gasoline leaking at a high rate into the subsurface."
