Description: This dataset contains Recovery Potential Screening (RPS) values for HUC 12 watersheds within the Chicago Wilderness region. RPS is a systematic, comparative method for identifying differences among watersheds (or watershed-based, hydrologic units such as HUC12s) that may influence their relative likelihood to be successfully restored, protected or managed in other ways. It was developed by the EPA Office of Water as a flexible, user-driven approach to help states and others generally compare impaired waters and their watersheds more quickly and efficiently while setting priorities for investing limited restoration resources. The RPS screening approach involves identifying a group of watersheds to be compared and a specific purpose for comparison, selecting appropriate indicators in three categories (Ecological, Stressor, Social), calculating index values for the watersheds, varying the analysis iteratively and applying the results as part of strategic planning and prioritization.
