The metal nishing industry is one of many industries subject to regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)1,2 and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA).3 It has also been subject to extensive regulation under the Clean Water Act (CWA).4 Compliance with these regulations requires highly coordinated regulatory, scienti c, and engineering analyses to minimize costs.5
