thanks!
there is no oil at crissy field. from what i heard, most of the oil for the oil leak went out west of the golden gate bridge and washed ashore on the coast north and south, e.g. marine, baker beach etc.
also gophers live in the grassy area of the parking lot, so they are not likely to get impacted by any sea water pollution.
