The impact depends on what has been spilled and how much was spilled, ranging from simple erosion caused by large amounts of water, to long-term poisoning from mixes containing arsenic or acids, to items that will dilute in time, such as lime or alkaline. Commercial weed-killers can cause dead zones where tanks or barrels of the product stood for long periods of time. We had a permanent circle in our backyard (former farmland) for about 10 years until we got the soil mixed with enough compost to dilute what was making the plants weak. Now you cannot see the circle, but before you could see it sharply defined any time the grass got a little dry.
