I've learned a ton from this forum over the last few months so I thought I'd try to give back a bit.
My "day job" (for now!) is as a biochemist in an in-house environmental laboratory supporting a CWT/Industrial Pretreatment wastewater plant, non-hazardous waste disposal, and energy-from-waste operation. I worked with the Wisconsin DNR and EPA Region 5 to develop this company's Used Oil Management plan a few years ago so I've got a very good handle on the regulatory agencies' attitudes on interpretation and enforcement.
I deal with CNC coolants all day every day on the back side (we crack the emulsions and recover/sell the oil), and if you have any questions about best practices for characterization/management, or regulatory concerns, I can answer them.
