Gary,

Here is a list of best mangement practices our storm water program
put
together for our auto recyclers.  Also Washington state has a video
tape
Titled "You Auto Recycle Available". You can contact Jan
Brysden at
jbry461@ecy.wa.gov
Florida State also has a video and on line guidance for this
industry.
Please let me know what lingo you are interested in.  The large
scrap
processors often times use a shear to cut up large pieces or even
whole
autos.  Also used are shredders (smaller particles and allow for
separation
of fluff material)  Both shredders and shears utilize water to cool
ythe
blades and or meet air requirements by holding down or misting dust from
the
operation.  Shredder fluff,auto shredder residue, is the waste
material left
over after useable and recyclable material has been recovered. 
Usually
landfilled.    

Note from Gary Liss: Please contact Mark directly to get copies of the
attached documents he sent.

Dear Alice: 
With regard to pollution prevention issues, I would think
the issues and BMP's for auto repair / auto body shops would be similar
to those for dismantlers (management of working fluids, solvents, scrap
metals, etc.) and there is a huge body of resources that can be consulted
online with regard to this industry sector. Some recommendations:
CCAR - Greenlink
http://www.ccar-greenlink.org/
EPA Region III Waste Reduction Clearinghouse - Auto
Sector 
http://wrrc.p2pays.org/industry/autorepair.htm
Pacific Northwest P2 Resource Center - Auto Repair 
http://www.pprc.org/pprc/sbap/auto.html 
This site also does a good job of listing the relevant auto dismantling / recycling trade groups that should also be contacted. 
Western Regional P2 Network - Auto Repair Topic Hub
