The organizers of the Burning Man festival narrowly passed their environmental inspection after mass torrential rains closed roads, jammed traffic and forced many to walk miles barefoot through muck, leaving trails of debris in the remote Nevada desert. Burning Man organizers had just over a month to clean up any remnants of the makeshift city plopped across over 4 square miles of the Black Rock Desert in northwestern Nevada as part of their agreement to use federal land for the annual festival. The festival passed 109 of the 120 randomly generated inspection points. Had they failed one more inspection point, they would not have passed.
