Little River nastiness?

Has anyone been on Little River just downstream of the I-575 bridge but before Toonigh Creek lately? Took the family over there in canoes and kayaks this week and the fumes from all the diesel fuel floating in the water was awful. Looks like the barge from the dredging is just spewing fuel all over. DNR said they had the same complaint a month and a half ago and couldn't do anything about it. We'd thought of doing some fishing but there were so many large patches of fuel that I didn't even want to paddle in it, much less try to fish. This was way beyond what I've seen around a marina.

I took my boat up there 2 weeks ago and saw the same stuff. And once you get past the dredge the river is littered with trash and smells like a portapotty. there's a trailer park up from there and a lot of waste goes in it along with the oils from the dredge. It is disgusting that this is allowed to happen
