Good hook. "Disrupted" undersells what happened (it killed most of 42,350 juvenile coho salmon), but it's accurate and the understatement arguably makes readers more curious. RosePickfair 🌹 (talk) 19:40, 22 February 2026 (UTC)GA review

- "irownworks" -> "ironworks"
- "East Fork originates about to the southwest in a group of forested wetlands" about?
- Delink "Dairy"
- I feel it's useful. I had no idea it could refer to a farm or shop instead of just dairy products.
- Spot checks found nothing, good job pretty clean article just a few minor notes
