In this chapter: I. ""Board'' means the oil fund disbursement board established under RSA 146-D:4. II. ""Discharge'' or ""spillage'' means the release or addition of any gasoline containing ethers to land, groundwater, or surface water. III. ""Distributor'' means any person, wherever resident or located, who imports or causes to be imported neat gasoline ethers, as defined in this section, into the state; provided, however, that bringing gasoline into the state in the fuel supply tank attached to the engine of a vehicle or aircraft shall not be considered importing. ""Distributor'' does not mean a spill cleanup organization or other person acting to contain, remove, clean up, restore, or take other remedial or corrective action or measures with regard to the spillage or discharge of gasoline or neat gasoline ethers, or threatened spillage or discharge of gasoline or neat gasoline ethers. IV. ""Ethers'' means organic compounds formed by the treatment of an alcohol with a dehydrating agent resulting in 2 organic radicals joined by an oxygen atom. V. ""Facility'' means a location, including structures or land, at which gasoline is subjected to treatment, storage, processing, refining, pumping, transfer, or collection. VI. ""Gasoline'' means all products commonly or commercially known or sold as gasoline, including casinghead and absorption of natural gasoline, regardless of their classification or uses, and any liquid prepared, advertised, offered for sale, or sold for use as or commonly and commercially used as a fuel in internal combustion engines, which when subjected to distillation in accordance with the standard method of test for distillation of gasoline, naphtha, kerosene, and similar petroleum products (ASTM Designation D-86) show not less than 10 percent distilled (recovered) below 347 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Centigrade) and not less than 95 percent distilled (recovered) below 464 degrees Fahrenheit (240 degrees Centigrade); provided that the term gasoline shall not include commercial solvents or naphthas which distill by ASTM method D-86 not more than 9 percent at 176 degrees Fahrenheit and which have a distillation range of 150 degrees Fahrenheit or less, or liquefied gases which would not exist as liquid at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute. VII. ""Gasoline ethers'' means any ether added to gasoline and its by-products, including, but not limited to, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE), tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME), di-isopropyl ether (DIPE), and ethyl tertiary butyl ether (EtBE). ""Gasoline ethers'' shall not include prepackaged goods intended for retail consumer use including, but not limited to, starting fluid and octane booster. VIII. ""Gasoline remediation and elimination of ethers fund'' means the fund established pursuant to RSA 146-G:4. IX. ""Gasoline terminal facility'' means any facility of any kind and its related appurtenances located within the boundaries of this state that is used or capable of being used for pumping, handling, transferring, processing, refining, or storing gasoline. X. ""Groundwater'' means subsurface water that occurs beneath the water table in soils and geologic formations. XI. ""Neat gasoline ethers'' mean ethers intended for blending with gasoline prior to sale to the public which are imported into the state with little or no admixtures or dilution. Neat gasoline ethers shall contain a minimum of 92.1 percent by volume ether, including its impurities. XII. ""Removal costs'' means the costs of containment, removal, cleanup, restoration, and remedial or corrective action or measures that are incurred after a spillage or discharge of gasoline has occurred or, in any case in which there is a threat of a spillage or discharge of gasoline, the cost to prevent, minimize, or mitigate gasoline pollution from such an incident. XIII. ""Surface water'' means streams, lakes, ponds, and tidal waters within the jurisdiction of the state, including all streams, lakes, or ponds bordering on the state, marshes, watercourses, and other bodies of water, natural or artificial.
