Decontamination of a chrome plating shop

I am looking for a general procedure to decommission/decontaminate a small chrome plating shop. Can you help?

Bruce,

There is no single given procedure for the decontamination for decommissioning a site. Each site must be independently evaluated for the level of contamination and where the contamination exists, i.e. equipment, concrete, soil, etc. If the soil is contaminated, then there is a whole new level of procedures to follow. With the general nature of your question, I would find it hard for anyone to provide an accurate analysis of your situation.
