Chrome going away??

Would not surprise me. I had a metal finishing dept. in my business. Had full electro plating set up, nickel, copper , chrome, and silver. Plating baths were anywhere from 250 to 500 gal. Our effluent was cleaner than the city water coming in. That's how tight it had to be to stay in compliance. We put a Centrum vitamin in a liter of water and it would not pass the restrictions put on us. It is a hassle for sure. I believe in protecting the environment but the pendulum has swung a bit to far.
