METROPOLITAN RECOVERY CORPORATION <br />CENTRAL TREATMENT/RECOVERY FACILITY <br />Metal plating and finishing, including printed circuit fabrication <br />and protective coating applications, is a large business in the <br />Twin Cities area. Its products are used by many of the area's <br />manufacturing businesses and the location of this business in <br />the area contributes to the Twin Cities' prominence in electronics <br />and romputer related manufacturing and associated high tech <br />industries. There are approximately 95 companies engaged in <br />some form of the metal finishing business in the Twin Cities <br />area. <br />Twenty-six of these companies have joined together to develop a <br />metals processing treatment and recovery facility (the Facility) <br />for their residual waste discharges. Development of the Facility <br />has been undertaken because federal water pollution control laws <br />require that all trace amounts of heavy metals, including cadmium, <br />chrome, copper, lead, zinc, and nickel be removed from municipal <br />sewage treatment plant waste discharges and from industrial sewage <br />discharges to such plants. <br />Waste metals occur as process residuals in metal finishing. 'these <br />process res.."uals can be removed either by individual in -plant <br />pretreatment systems or by a common facility utilizing sophisticated <br />processing and treatment systems. Extensive economic and techno- <br />logical analysis has demonstrated that it will be safer, economical <br />and environmentally preferable to treat and recover metal residuals <br />at a centralized treatment facility, rather than by individual <br />pretreatment facilities at each metal finishing shop. <br />If a centralized metals treatment and recovery facility is not <br />developed, each metal finishing company will have to pretreat its <br />metal wastes and arrange for disposal in secure landfills and other <br />facilities out of state. The Facility will enable metal finishers <br />to satisfy pretreatment and disposal requirements by an alternative <br />means which will be less complex, less expensive, and environmentally <br />safer. The Facility will indirectly help Twin Cities area metal <br />finishers be more competitive than metal finishers elsewhere which <br />cannot use a centralized facility. <br />The Facility will treat and recover solid and liquid inorganic <br />wastes containing cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, <br />and other metals. The Facility will also have the capacity to <br />receive and store drums containing certain organic materials destined <br />for transhipment out of state. <br />The Facility will be constructed in a single enclosed buildin(J <br />approximately 50,000 square feet in size. Specialized trucks owned <br />or controlled by the Facility operator will transport containerized <br />
