This Talbot County public boat launch is at Easton Point. Stormwater river input from the parking lot is unopposed; the lot was completely submerged in Hurricane Isabel, Sept. 2003. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD
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. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD
Public boat launch and fuel dock
While Easton Point has a public boat launch, this shoreline on an adjacent lot has been modified to support an unoffical boat ramp. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD
Unofficial boat ramp and degraded shoreline
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. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD
Waterfront fuel depot storage tanks and crab boat
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. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD
