The third big project going on, is the Zidell Brownfield Cleanup Project (Link) Years of contamination from shipbuilding and dismantling, including heavy metals and asbestos, is being removed (Link.) This project has resulted in a substantial increase in river traffic, with towboats and barges coming and going with loads of gravel. A 5mph wake zone for recreational boaters has been established, and the channel has white buoy markers to keep boaters away from the barges and cranes.
