The >300' fully loaded gravel barges are pushed up-river by tugboats to this waterfront depot where the gravel is unloaded and hot mixed to produce road asphalt. The negative riparian impacts are: 1) the prop dredging of the river by the tug pushing oversized barges, resuspending the toxic benthic sediments; 2) streambank erosion from tug wake, and 3) stormwater runoff potentially laden with toxic hydrocarbons, oils, greases and metals.

Public boat launch and adjacent parking lot
The Easton Point area has this public county boat launch and a commercial marina with waterfront fuel sales. Stormwater river input from the parking lot is unopposed, and the fuel pumps can often be seen standing half submerged in high water events. The likelihood of diesel and gas fuel spills and stormwater runoff pollution is significant.
