The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will hold a hybrid Community Advisory Group meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 12, to discuss activities at the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport Superfund site in Goodyear, Arizona. The meeting will take place from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM and will be accessible in person at the Goodyear Recreation Center as well as online via Microsoft Teams.
The meeting will provide updates on environmental remediation efforts at the Superfund site, which has been designated for cleanup due to contamination. Attendees will hear reports from EPA officials and representatives from local governments, including those from Goodyear, Phoenix, Avondale, and Litchfield Park.
The Phoenix-Goodyear Airport site, located approximately 17 miles west of Phoenix, encompasses two main areas affected by contamination: PGA-North and PGA-South. These areas have been impacted by various organic compounds and metals, including trichloroethene (TCE), perchlorate, and chromium.
According to the EPA there is no health risk associated with groundwater exposure since the contaminated water is not used for drinking and is treated before being reused.
The meeting aims to facilitate community engagement and provide information about the ongoing remediation efforts at the site.
The EPA's Superfund program seeks to address contamination at designated sites, ensuring public health and environmental protection through collaboration among federal, state, and local agencies, as well as community stakeholders. The upcoming meeting encourages community participation and transparency regarding the site's cleanup progress.
