I really worry about the lack of definition/specificity for "several thousand," "secondary containment" and "containment area." The first could mean 3000 just as easily as it could be 50000. The second and third (they use both terms in the article) may well just be a clear-cut parcel of land surrounding the primary storage tank just as easily as it could be a natural pond/lake inhabited by wildlife. Nothing reported implies this "secondary containment" is any type of secure container.
This sidebar link was encouraging:
With a BP well spilling oil into the Gulf of Mexico for a fifth week and President Barack Obama under pressure to act, legal experts say it is only a matter of time before his administration begins a criminal investigation into the disaster.
