Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 9): Litchfield Airport/Phoenix, Arizona (first remedial action), September 1987. Final report

Technical Report · Tue Sep 29 04:00:00 EDT 1987

OSTI ID:7126157

The Litchfield/Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (PGA) site is divided into a northern and a southern area by a ground-water divide running under the Yuma Road area. Section 16 (approximately 17 acres) lies in the southern area and includes the Loral Corporation facility (formerly owned by Goodyear Aerospace Corporation) and the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (formerly owned by U.S. Navy), both being potential sources of VOC contamination. Ground-water contaminant concentrations in Section 16 are at least 100 times greater than down-gradient levels. The Arizona Department of Health Services discovered solvent and chromium contamination in the ground water within the PGA area. Additional sampling in 1982 and 1983 found 18 wells contaminated with TCE. The primary contaminants of concern include: trichloroethene, volatile organic compounds and chromium. Interim remedial action for the site is proposed.
