Health Consultation: Paradise Valley Water System, North Indian Bend Wash Miller Road Treatment Facility, Scottsdale, Maricopa County, Arizona. EPA Facility ID: AZD980695969, August 22, 2008.

摘要

The North Indian Bend Wash (NIBW) Superfund site was added to the National Priorities List in 1983. As part of the remediation, the Miller Road Treatment Facility (MRTF) was built by the North Indian Bend Wash Participating Companies (PCs) to treat groundwater in order to reduce the levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have contaminated the aquifers. The MRTF was brought on-line in March 1997, and ownership was transferred to AAWC in December 1997. The MRTF processes the groundwater to remove the VOCs. Between January 15-17, 2008 trichloroethylene (TCE) was detected in the Paradise Valley Water System. Arizona American Water Company, who own and operate the Paradise Valley system, contacted the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and requested assistance in determining possible health risks from exposures related to this incidence. In response, the Arizona Department of Health Services reviewed existing data and performed a health consultation to evaluate the possibility of adverse health effects associated with this event.
