It seems like there is another Scotch Run in Pennsylvania. This should be mentioned in the article and/or a disambiguation page. Maybe Scotch Run should be a dab.
I didn't want to move it until the review had begun; otherwise the GAN page would link to a disambiguation page. I will move it now. --Jakob (

Does Scotch Run meet with Catawissa Creek along Nescopeck Mountain? How long is the mountain?
The article implies that the creek flows for a distance along the mountain, and I thought, wow, that must be a long mountain. Just wanted to clarify. ~EDDY(

"It has the potential to be affected by acid precipitation." Has it already been affected?
"Scotch Run flows over Leck Kill soil for its entire length. However, the northern and southern edges of the watershed are on Hazleton soil." What are the characteristics of these types of soil? Is it silty, loamy, etc.?
Population density should be in square miles and kilometers, since it is in the U.S.
"Due to the topography of the area in the vicinity of Scotch Run, this area was not settled until some time after the first settlement in the general area." This statement is unclear.
It means that people settled in the general area, but the topography prevented them from settling in the valley of Scotch Run for some time after that. --Jakob (
