A handout photo provided by the U.S. Coast Guard shows containment booms set out by local contractors on the Des Plaines River near the Caterpillar plant in Rockdale, IL, Monday, February 9th 2009. About 6,000 gallons of waste oil ran into the river after about 65,000 gallons of waste oil overflowed from two holding pits at the Caterpillar plant early Sunday, February 8th, after a pump failed.
