The 217-acre course is made with more than 1.5-million tons of "fly ash" which is the by-product left behind when coal is burned to make electricity. It contains heavy metals like arsenic, lead and uranium.

There may be more than fly ash on the Battlefield Golf Club. Many golf courses were developed on top of closed dumps (landfills). What is the previous land-use of the property?
