A class-action lawsuit about the contamination was settled on July 2, 1996 for $333 million (around $634 million in 2023). In 2008, PG&E settled the last of the cases involved with the Hinkley claims. Since then, the town's population has dwindled to the point that in 2016 The New York Times described Hinkley as having slowly become a ghost town.
It is however produced on a large scale industrially. Virtually all chromium ore is processed via the formation of hexavalent chromium, specifically the salt sodium dichromate. [2] Sodium chromate is converted into other hexavalent chromium compounds such as chromium trioxide and various salts of chromate and dichromate.
In the U.S. state of California, an epidemic of hexavalent chromium exposure led to a class-action lawsuit in 1993: Anderson, et al. v. Pacific Gas and Electric. The Pacific Gas and Electric Company had dumped more than 1.4 billion litres (370 million gallons) of wastewater tainted with hexavalent chromium into the Mojave Desert.
Sodium dichromate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 Cr 2 O 7.However, the salt is usually handled as its dihydrate Na 2 Cr 2 O 7 ·2H 2 O.Virtually all chromium ore is processed via conversion to sodium dichromate and virtually all compounds and materials based on chromium are prepared from this salt.

For lab and small scale preparations a mixture of chromite ore, sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate reacting at lower temperatures may be used (even 350 C in the corresponding potassium chromate system). [2] Subsequent to its formation, the chromate salt is converted to sodium dichromate, the precursor to most chromium compounds and materials. [3]
