The Arizona Department of Health Services prepared this report to evaluate whether a public health hazard exists as a result of potential environmental exposures from the contamination at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport North site. Another objective of this report was to investigate and address the health concerns of the residents in the Goodyear area, including former Unidynamics workers. This report uses available environmental data from the site and information collected from members of the community regarding their health concerns. There were many concerns, including health concerns, of residents and former Unidynamics workers that were related to living near the PGA North site or previous employment at the former Unidynamics facility. These community concerns are identified and addressed in the public
health assessment.

The Miller Road Treatment Facility was built by the North Indian Bend Wash Participating Companies to treat groundwater in order to reduce the levels of volatile organic compounds that have contaminated the aquifers. The facility was brought on-line in March 1997, and ownership was transferred to AAWC in December 1997. The facility 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 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.
