    Sometimes it is over regulated, but after the Erin Brockovich/Hinkley California case broke (where a power company poisoned a whole town; see the movie or google it if you haven't already) and they found out just how nasty this stuff is, they came down hard on the industry. The irony of it is it wasn't the plating industry that caused the problem there, but they use some of the same solutions in the plating process so they got caught in the crossfire.

    There used to be 6-7 plating shops within easy driving distance of where I live (Tacoma/Olympia Wa) and now there's none. I know that at least two of the sites were contaminated enough that they tore down the buildings and dug holes nearly to china and hauled away all the dirt, and another site was 'sealed' (condemned the building, high fence around the property) and has been sitting for probably 15 years. But after seeing/reading about what happened in Hinkley, I understand why it's the way it is...
