Well, when the mod takes place (Bilbo's party), Isengard is in its 'nice' phase, and Saruman has only begun to breed the Uruk-Hai. Maybe when the Shire Reckoning reaches a certain point, Isengard would become the wasteland described above. If you visited Isengard before, it would load as 'nice'. If you first visit it during the time of the War of the Ring, it would be an industrial wasteland.
