FIRO Screening Process


The FIRO Screening Process is designed to be a low barrier point of entry to the FIRO program. Through a three-stage screening process, USACE regulated dams are assessed to identify those with high potential for FIRO suitability. Sites are evaluated in collaboration with USACE District staff across a range of suitability criteria, resulting in recommendations for next steps.

The screening process web portal is a platform that District staff can use to provide input into the screening process. Informational materials are also provided on this page.
