I've seen similar things used to absorb spills as Doug said, and also for erosion control. Looks like an odd location for either.
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

Those are called booms theyre used to stop run off from hazardous (and non haz) spills some are petro absorbent some are just physical barriers to keep as much as possible from getting in waterways playgrounds etc
edit: in the last photo notice how much film or sheen is on the water on the right side of the boom

I've never seen a boom for a miniscule spill get so much attention
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

It might be killing native trout, creek chubs, turtles and frogs so it's the LEAST the county can do.

Many water sliders died from just this one boom alone... puny humans.
