Municipal water accounts for less than a tenth of human water use, but clean drinking water is a critical need. Today, half of the world’s population live in towns and cities and one‐third of this urban population live without clean drinking water. These billion have‐nots are unevenly distributed across the globe: 700 million city dwellers in Asia, 150 million in Africa, and 120 million in Latin America and the Caribbean. In recent years, governments and city councils have begun to take an increasing interest in the opportunities for offsetting or reducing some of the costs of maintaining urban water supplies—and, perhaps even more importantly, water quality—through management. | MTBE IN NEW JERSEY S ENVIRONMENT Members of the NJDEP MTBE Work Group Gloria Post Bureau of Risk Analysis DSRT Chairperson Fred Dickert Bureau of Safe Drinking Water Joan Kryak Bureau of Safe Drinking Water Sharon Haas Bureau of Transportation Control Joann Held Bureau of Air Quality Evaluation Al Korndoerfer Bureau of Freshwater and Biological Monitoring Kevin Kratina Bureau of Underground Storage Tanks Judy Louis Bureau of Environmental Assessment DSRT Eileen Murphy Bureau of Environmental Assessment DSRT Andy Opperman Bureau of Chemical Release Information and Prevention Sue Rosenwinkle NJPDES-Point Source Permitting Paul Sanders Bureau of Environmental Assessment DSRT Michael Serfes New Jersey Geological Survey Tom Vernam Bureau of Freshwater and Biological Monitoring Ching Volpp Division of Watershed Management Art Baehr United States Geological Survey - Reviewer List of Abbreviations Used BASIC Best Available Scientific Information Based Criterion BEERA NJDEP Bureau of Environmental Evaluation and Risk Assessment BTEX BUST CO DWQ EOHSI GFC GPPC GWQS MCL MTBE NAAQS NAWQA NESCAUM NJDEP NJPDES NOx NTP PHG RFG SIC SWQS TRI UATMP USEPA USGS UST VOCs Benzene Toluene Ethylbenzene Xylene NJDEP Bureau of Underground Storage Tanks Carbon Monoxide NJDEP Division of Water Quality Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute General Fuel Clean-up General Petroleum Product Clean-up Ground Water Quality Standard Maximum Contaminant Level Methyl tertiary butyl ether National Ambient Air Quality National Water-Quality Assessment Program Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection New Jersey Pollution Discharge Elimination System Nitrogen Oxide National Toxicology Program Public Health Goal Reformulated Gasoline Standard Industrial Classification Surface Water Quality Standard Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program United States Environmental Protection Agency United States .
