Burning has been a traditional component of land clearing operations to eliminate unwanted debris from fields. Burning under the proper conditions can be a cost efficient method of debris removal, and provides nutrient release into the soil. Burning, however, carries with it the inherent risk associated with escaped fire that can be disastrous and costly. In addition, smoke from burning can have an adverse impact on air quality.
