Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) contamination in groundwater and surface water in the United States is widespread and currently considered a major threat to drinking water resources (1-3). The fuel additive is therefore being phased out, and it is highly likely that ethanol will replace it. To ensure public safety possible impacts to groundwater quality resulting from any releases of ethanol-blended gasoline must be understood. Typical scenarios include leaks of ethanol-blended gasoline from underground storage tanks, accidents with railroad cars or tanker trucks, and spills of neat ethanol at distribution terminals.
