Are MTBE’s in the Sewer Discharge a Potential Problem?

A preliminary review of the possibility that the MBTE from the contaminated Pascoag well(s) will pollute the sewer discharge shows that it should not be a problem.

The Pascoag well water will be filtered and cleaned at the well site before it travels to the proposed power plant.  The calculations show that cleaning the water using the process proposed by CREC will enable it to meet federal safety levels.
