MBTE has been measured at 260,000 parts per billion in ground
water at Santa Clara County, according to KCBS news channel 5 on Friday,
March 21, 1997.

Zone 7 in the East Bay is fighting the MTBE laws because
it has been found in East Bay reservoirs.

An East Bay Water District official was quoted in the report
as saying that the EPA did not consider contamination of the water
as their priority regarding MBTE.

Santa Monica's ground water has been contaminated at 40% of
the sites tested.

MTBE is a KNOWN CARCINOGEN in animal laboratory studies.
