Crab Run (Mahanoy Creek)

 * ... that Crab Run (pictured) is listed as being impaired by abandoned mine drainage, even though no mining has been done in its watershed?

 * Article created and nominated within 1 day, so meets newness criteria. Spot check reveals no copyright violations. It meets sourcing criteria and QPQ.
 * The hook is correct and sourced but is confusing when compared with the lead. Hook says -It's listed as impaired by AMD, though no mining has been done in its watershed. Lead says - It is not impacted by abandoned mine drainage, but some stream reaches in its watershed do experience agricultural impacts. It may well be worth adding the hook fact to the lead, or removing the "not impacted" statement from the lead.
 * There are a number of 1 sentence paragraphs in the article, I would recommend tidying them a bit.
 * Overall, my recommendations are just that - recommendations. It meets the criteria for DYK, so I'm happy to give a Symbol confirmed.svg WormTT(talk) 18:41, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
