Comment
The plating industry is asking and looking for cooperation in the
overall picture of what you are looking at. From what I can tell,
the ruling that is looking to take place is without all the data,
and with the full scope of everything in play here. It seems,
offhand, that to make a proper ruling you would want to collect all
the data (I know the industry is providing a metric ton of it), to
compile and fact check before you just toss your hat in the ring
haphazardly. You are looking to destroy an industry that while they
operate with chrome (they operate safely and within all parameters
all agencies impose on them) makes up a whopping 1% of all Hex
Chrome emissions in the entire state. 1%. Theme parks put out more
emissions.

Please consider reviewing the emissions standards and rules,
revising them to allow the thousands of individuals who have and
continue put their entire lives work into the states economy vs
just flipping a switch and shutting them all down without reviewing
and working with these families you are playing with - without the
full review needed - to force to shut down. We, the industry, work
hard day in and day to meet or exceed the state emissions
standards. Review them. Shutting these shops down may reduce a tiny
bit of the emissions, but that work will go to the states with less
restrictions and just amplify the nations emissions. There is
middle ground, as stated above, review the emissions standards -
work with the industry, not against it and see the future that we
can create together.
