It's a pity that all the images are used up before you're into the main part of the article, the last few sections are really dry, just statistics and offer not a lot of interest to the reader, an image might break that up a little.
"has some alkalinity" seems odd (to me), why not "is slightly alkaline"?
Well, the sentence would then read "The creek is slightly alkaline and is slightly acidic." which just doesn't sound right =). The point is that
alkalinity isn't quite the same thing as having a
pH of higher than 7. There's a link to alkalinity down in the hydrology section, but I can add one up in the lead as well. --Jakob (

Why is there just one ref in the lead? If you've expanded upon the lead correctly, the ref should be in the main body.
Well, it's there to cite the length, which is basic and important information, but doesn't really belong in the body. I personally don't think it's such a big deal, but I'll change it if you insist. --Jakob (

Is the whole "air temperature" and "water temperature" at a specific time on a specific day really of interest or of significance?
Well, they can change depending on the time of year and even the time of day, so the date and time are needed for context. --Jakob (

"Little Catawissa Creek is on..." followed by "Little Catawissa Creek is completely..." followed by "Little Catawissa Creek is managed..." is really dull prose, especially clunky when you have these all as single-sentence paragraphs.
That's it for now, the usual comments on these nominations form the majority of my issues, perhaps you can fix all the other nominations/articles so we don't need to repeat them in the future. Article is on hold for a week.
