The way they are doing it pretty much so ,it will smolder until it burns the moisture off then ignite but while smoldering it is pollution,I would wonder why they where not made to place a bond before allowing this to proceed,and this is a perfect example why bonds are required.

If it is not sold they may have to either dispose of it or build a perimeter trench lined with plastic and place misters above to keep a constant cooling water flow cheaper then to keep turning it over ,taxpayers are going to eat it one way or another.
