The second 15 day comment period allows comment on the minor
decimal correction of the Hard Chrome but the ISOR and the SRIA is
still WRONG. Many of us in the metal finishing industry have
questioned the data from the beginning. CARB has had access to data
from the air districts and yet when I look at the emissions
inventory I am confused. It seems like CARB is missing a lot of
data so they are making up some generic calculations, using
permitted amp/hrs as the reported throughput and a generic
emissions calculation just to fill a blank space. How is CARB still
moving forward with a vote to BAN without accurate numbers? It
appears that CARB has had an agenda to BAN the Hex Chrome from the
beginning and then find ways to justify it. CARB is not working
with the Industry. The ATCM has reduced emissions over the last
decades and can continue to do more with an emission based rule. I
urge CARB Staff and CARB Board to re-evaluate and correct the data
before thousands of good jobs and businesses are lost in
California.
