If the stack, wall, fails the damage will be to the local land and potentially to the surface water table as well as the damage done by moving water. However, the damage to the Bay is happening because the Bay is where the polluted water is being pumped in an attempt to empty the ponds before they collapse. No one knows how severe the damage to the water will be but the most likely outcome will be a major algae bloom which chokes out the fish similar to a red tide event.
