Health Consultation: Phoenix Goodyear Airport Superfund Site, Tierra Verde Lake, City of Litchfield Park, Maricopa County, Arizona. EPA Facility ID: AZD980695902.

摘要

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) received a request for a Health Consultation from the City of Litchfield Park, dated March 5, 2007. The nature of the request was for ADHS to determine if there was a risk to public health from eating fish taken from Tierra Verde Lake. The City sponsors an annual fishing derby and believed that some citizens were eating the fish they caught. The City tested their lake water and for the very first time, measurable amounts of perchlorates were detected. The probable source for the perchlorates was thought to be from a groundwater, contaminant plume originating from the Phoenix Goodyear Airport (PGA) Superfund Site.
