Exxon Mobile Will Clean Up New Hampshire MTBE Leak

MTBE leaks in New Hampshire caused by Exxon Mobile will be cleaned up by Exxon Mobile. The State of New Hampshire and the Exxon Mobile representatives reached a settlement agreement earlier this week.

Exxon Mobile was reibursed by its private insurance company, but it took no part in paying for the cleanup needed to make soil and groundwater contaminant-free. The state of New Hampshire believed that it should be reimbursed for cleaning up someone else's mess.

Although the State of New Hampshire originally sought $2.9 million from Exxon Mobile, officials settled for an even $2,000,000 which will go a long way to "re-fill" the environmental remediation fund.

The report concluded that the town should no longer be considered a source of the contamination, and no additional testing is required.

Weitz & Luxenberg reviews MTBE cases related to water systems that require remediation.  We are not litigating any personal injury claims involving MTBE.

Instead of burdening taxpayers in affected areas with the costs of removing MTBE from their drinking water, Weitz & Luxenberg will aggressively go after the oil companies responsible. We want to do what is best not only for our clients, but for the environment and future generations as well.
