As a harbour in the inland waterway system, it supports the movement of agricultural commodities. The facility operates under U.S. EPA regulations, including the Vessel General Permit (VGP) for discharges incidental to vessel operations and the NPDES program for shoreside stormwater management.

The facility is situated near the Arkansas River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River, which supports diverse aquatic habitats.
