Health assessment for Litchfield - Goodyear Airport, Phoenix, Arizona, Region 9. CERCLIS No. AZD980695902. Preliminary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5184704

The Litchfield-Goodyear Airport site, better known as the Phoenix-Goodyear site (PGA) is listed on the National Priorities List. The site, west of Phoenix, Arizona, encompasses 32 square miles of State, municipal, and private lands in Maricopa County, including property within the jurisdiction of three cities: Goodyear, Avondale, and Phoenix. Ground water at the site is contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including trichloroethylene (TCE) and chromium at levels of public health concern. In addition, the levels of lead present in several monitoring and municipal wells may pose a concern to public health. The site is of potential health concern because human exposure to TCE, lead, and chromium may occur, may be occurring, or may have occurred via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure to contaminated ground water from municipal wells and surface soil, and via inhalation of volatile contaminants.
