This report is a summary of the findings of an 18 month study funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, the Manufacturing Jewelers and Silversmiths of America, Inc., and the Rhode Island Department of Economic Development. The purpose of this study is to assist the metal finishers, predominantly jewelry metal finishers, in complying with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wastewater pretreatment regulations requiring pollution control of sewer discharges by October 1982. Due to the high cost of pollution control, USEPA's forecast that 2% of the electroplating job shops would go out of business due to the controls.
