We are currently involved in an investigation at a Superfund site with ground-water contamination near Phoenix, Arizona. The site is unique among other Superfund sites by encompassing over 12 square miles and containing within its boundaries several parties potentially responsible for ground-water contamination. Furthermore, the site is in a regulated ground-water management area characterized by severe ground-water overdraft problems, due to extensive use of groundwater for drinking, irrigation, and industrial water supplies. This paper illustrates the process from discovery to clean-up of a Superfund site, exemplified by the work currently being undertaken at the Indian Bend Wash site in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
