  USEPA Recovery Potential Screening Tool

  This website on Recovery Potential Screening provides a systematic approach for comparing waters or watersheds and identifying differences in how well they may respond to restoration. Originally, this approach was developed as a technical aid to states, territories and tribes (hereafter referred to as states for brevity) concerning their Clean Water Act obligation to "develop a prioritized schedule" for creating Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) to reduce pollution in impaired waters. Recovery Potential Screening can also be applied in a wide range of other watershed activities. Rather than a 'one-size-fits-all' procedure, this site offers a flexible framework of methods, tools, technical information and instructional examples that can be customized for any impaired waters restoration program in any geographic locality. When used with existing data, it provides a rapid assessment and comparison method at a general screening level. Key components for ecological indicator selection include: Candidate ecological indicators1.Watershed natural structure, 2.Corridor and shorelands stability, 3.Flow and channel dynamics, 4.Biotic community integrity, 5.Aquatic connectivity, 6.Ecological history. Key components for stressor indicator selection include: 1.Watershed-level disturbance, 2.Corridor or shorelands disturbance, 3.Hydrologic alteration, 4.Biotic or climatic risks, 5.Severity of pollutant loading 6.Legacy of past, trajectory of future land use. Key components for social context indicator selection include: 1.Leadership, organization and engagement, 2.Protective ownership or regulation, 3.Level of information, certainty and planning, 4.Restoration cost, difficulty, or complexity, 5.Socio-economic considerations, 6.Human health, beneficial uses, recognition and incentives
