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.

Public boat launch and fuel dock
The combination of property owners removing riverfront vegetation and passing boat wakes, both commercial and recreational, can lead to bank erosion and the collapse of soil and trees into the waterways.

Historically and currently, Easton Point has industrial waterfront activities such as fuel sales, delivery and storage, and gravel depots for asphalt production. A waterman's coop is also located here for the marketing of Maryland blue crabs.

Historically and currently, Easton Point has industrial waterfront activities such as fuel sales, delivery and storage. While these assorted slabs of concrete may provide some shoreline protection, it does little to prevent polluted stormwater runoff into the river.
