CSBA member Metal Finishers Association of California will no longer be able to provide this vital service to our industry. Over one hundred thousand jobs could be lost and the surface finishing industry could exit California in the coming years. This ban is not needed. Technology has allowed us to reduce emissions by over 99%. The surface finishing industry in California is less than half of 1% of hex chrome emissions yet is the only industry facing a ban. CARB can adopt SCAQMD Rule 1469 statewide as a compromise.
We are asking that you please consider contributing to our IEF Fund to help in our efforts to save the surface finishing industry in California. Your contribution is deductible on 501C Rules. All money raised will go to fighting this massive regulatory overreach by CARB.
