What's impaired? EEng (talk) 04:41, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Page 3 defines it if you're interested. --Jakob (talk) 13:15, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

I think this qualifies as a technical term that should be explained to the reader in the article. You might use the definition here [1]. EEng (talk) 14:39, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

@EEng: Sorry for the delay, but I think the term is pretty self-explanatory. --Jakob (talk) 01:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

I really don't think it is. It obviously means something's wrong, but the reader is left to wonder whether it means blocked, dry, polluted, silted up, ... EEng (talk) 02:56, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

I think it can mean any of those. Either way, it seems kind of a trivial thing to hold up a DYK over. --Jakob (talk) 14:02, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Article was new enough, long enough, neutral, sourced, no close paraphrasing concerns. All proposed hooks are sourced. I prefer ALT1, since "At this point, the source/cause of the impairment in the East Fork is not well understood." Aymatth2 (talk) 00:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
