What is Recovery Potential Screening?
A method to compare differences in restorability andidentify the underlying factors that explain them
• Origins in impaired waters program (TMDLs, 303(d) listing)
• Systematic, comparative, and very flexible approach
• Science-based, indicator-driven
Recovery potential is the likelihood of an impaired water to reattain WQSor other desired condition, given its
- ecological capacity,
- exposure to stressors, and
- the social context affecting efforts to improve its condition.
