I'm not sure you can get a good answer on that, unjon. The people at BMOrg are concerned about what's in the stuff being burned and mention that only clean untreated wood and paper should be burned to reduce harmful gassing.

On the page at
http://www.burningman.com/preparation/e ... nment.html
there's a section called "Playa Protection & Burn Scar Prevention" which lists things that _can't_ be burned, including the catchall "any toxic materials."

I have no idea what's at the bottom of a holding tank, so I can't comment on whether anything is toxic, and I also have no clue if it would burn. I suspect you need to use your excellent judgment on both issues unless others know what's on the bottom of your holding tank.
