     ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

This series describes research conducted  to develop  new or
improved methods and instrumentation for  the  identification
and quantification of environmental pollutants at  the  lowest
conceivably significant concentrations.   It also includes
studies to determine the ambient concentrations of pollutants
in the erivii'onment and/or the variance of pollutants as a
function of time or meteorological factors.

INTRODUCTION

   The State of Michigan, through funding by the EPA, participated in the Inter-
national Joint Commission's Upper Lakes Reference Group  (IJC-ULKG) study of Lake
Huron and Lake Superior tributaries.  This program began in July 1973 and ended
in June 1975.  During this two year period, thirty-three of the major tributar-
ies to Lakes Superior and Huron were sampled.  This sampling program was designed
to provide tributary water quality and constituent loading data to the ULRG as
part of their study of these two lakes.

   Michigan's participation in the ULRG tributary sampling program consisted of
planning, data collecting and analysis, and data reporting.  The work was per-
formed in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Work Group C (WG-C) of the
ULRG.

   The purpose of this report is to describe Michigan's activities in this pro-
ject and to summarize the resultant data and constituent loadings.  This report
is the final project report to EPA, and the last step in fulfilling the reporting
requirements of EPA Contract No. 68-01-1899.

Monitoring Network

   The sampling network Michigan established, follox^ing the Work Group C guide-
lines, consisted of sixteen Lake Superior tributaries and seventeen Lake Huron
tributaries.

   The initial program, as outlined for WG-C consisted of thirty-three stations,
one on each of  the  significant  tributaries to Lakes Superior and Huron.  However,
initial field visits and later reconnaissance indicated that some of the initial
stream sites were adversely affected by lake water.  To avoid the dilution effects
of the lakes, new stations were selected upstream.  This occasionally resulted in
placing a station above the confluence of a major tributary to that stream.  Con-
sequently, two stations were needed to obtain the necessary datr. to compute load-
ings for the tributary.  Table A-l in Appendix A lists the Lakes Superior and Huron
tributaries sampled in this project.  This table includes the original station lo-
cations associated with each tributary, and any appropriate additions are listed in
chronological order.

   Each of these tributaries was sampled monthly, with three extra samplings occurr-
ing during the high runoff periods of the spring months according to the following
schedule:

               1.)  Lake Superior tributaries:   Bi-monthly sampling during
                    April, May and June.

               2.)  Lake Huron tributaries:  Bi-monthly sampling during
                    March, April and May.

   For each sampling visit a number of water quality parameters were analyzed and
stream flow determinations were made.   Some parameters required more frequent
sampling than others.   A listing of the parameters sampled and their related fre-
quency is gix-en in Table A-2,  Appendix A.

-------
.Data Collection and Analysis

   "Michigan sub-contracted the Upper Peninsula  tributary sampling*to Environmental
Research Group, Inc.  (ERG, Inc.) of Ann Arbor, Michigan.  ERG collected water
samples and determined stream flows where U.f.. Geological Survey  (USGS) data was
not available, at all of the Upper Peninsula  tributary monitoring  stations.  In
addition, ERG performed all the necessary laboratory analytical work required,
including inter-laboratory comparisons with Michigan.  The Lower Peninsula  tribu-
taries were sampled by Michigan and these samples were analyzed by our laborator-
ies.  In addition, stream flow data was provided by Michigan at all streams not
included in the U.S. Geological Survey program.

   Sample collection by Michigan and ERG was  essentially the same, each using
similar sampling apparatus.  All samples were subsequently ti'ansported to the
appropriate laboratories within 30 hours after sampling, where all analytical
work was conducted.  The exceptions to the above are for the following analyti-
cal test performed by the indicated agency in the field:

              1.)  Michigan - Field determination for temperature only,

              2.)  ERG - Field determinations for temperature, dissolved
                   oxygen, 5-day biochemical  oxygen demand, conductivity,
                   pH, total coliforms and fecal coliforms.

   Both the Michigan Laboratory and the ERG Laboratory used similar analytical
techniques in their analysis of water samples.  Nunerous samples were split be-
tween laboratories to assure similar results.  Individual analyses were per-
formed by approved EPA methods.  Table A-3 in Appendix A lists the methodology
used for each of the parameters analyzed.  Table A-4 lists the field preservation
techniques used by the field crews for all parameters not analyzed in the field.

   Stream flow measurements were determined at each sampling site x?ith each
visit.  Stream flow was determined where possible using appropriate USGS guage
sites and extrapolating stream flow using a drainage area ratio for the sampling
station.  When no USGS guage was available field determinations of stream flow
was made at the time of sampling.  The field methods employed, were either on-
site stream guaging at the time of sampling or developing a stage-discharge re-
lationship near the sampling site.   The latter method enabled the field crew to
determine water depth from a reference mark or staff guage.  This measurement
was used to calculate stream flow from the stage-discharge curves.  Table A-5
in Appendix A summarizes the method of stream flow determination used for each
of the tributary streams.

Data Reporting

   A report of  this  two  year study was submitted to the IJC-ULRG.  This report,
•entitled "Land Source Inputs to Upper Great Lakes from the U.S."-*- consisted of a
data summary and materials loadings for all the ULRG tributaries of Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin.   In addition, loadings were calculated for the ULRG
municipal and industrial direct point source inputs .from these three agencies
(for this report to EPA,  only Michigan tributary loadings are included).

-------
   The data gathered by the three jurisdictions was assembled by Michigan and
loadings were calculated using a computer program developed by Michigan.   The
entire project report is included in Appendix B.  The following table,  "Summary
of Tributary Inputs to Lakes Superior and Huron from Michigan11 was constructed
from the project report.

*• The period of record lists the beginning and ending months of sampling.  For
  instance, 7/73 - 10/73 means that the first sample vas collected in July 1973
  and the last sample was collected in October 1973.
o
  These stations were initially Pampled in the program.  However, the effects of
  lake water intrusion greatly biased the sample rendering the data useless.
  Therefore, these stations were not included in the loadings computation.

              LAND SOURCE INPUTS TO UPPER GREAT LAKES FROM THE U.S.

               IJC - UPPER LAKES REFERENCE GROUP - WORKING GROUP C


                     FINAL   PROJECT   REPORT

                                  July 20, 1976
   This report is the culmination of two years of water quality data collection by
Pollution Control Agencies representing Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.  From
July 1, 1973 through June 30, 1975, about 100 land source inputs to Lakes Superior
and Huron were sampled.  The parameter coverage reported herein was guided by the •
Preliminary Study Plan for Working Group C.  The intent of this report is to summ-
arize two years of raw data and report on the loadings of selected constituents
from Land Source Inputs to Lakes Superior and Huron.

                     Method of Preparing Land Source Inputs

   As a result of this two year study, an enormous volume of water quality data
had been gathered.  This data represented water quality of every significant land
source input to the Upper Great Lakes:  Sewage treatment plants, industrial facili-
ties and tributary streams.  Inter-laboratory comparisons of analytical techniques
were maintained throughout the Project by the three agencies.  This effort gives
reasonable assurance that loadings of like parameters can be summed to represent
the entire land source input to Lakes Superior and Huron from the United States.
However, some parameters were reported differently and are therefore not additive
(for example, calcium).

   Since a need for comnon reporting formats for each agency was stipulated in the
Study Plan, Michigan was asked to develop a computer program capable of rendering
all data into report ready copy.  The Federal (EPA) STORE! system was utilized.
This system is commonly in use for water quality data storage by all agencies.
STORET consists of data storage and retrieval facilities for raw data, and with
the IBM computers at the Washington Data Center, full computational capabilities
were realized.

   There are two types of formats showing Land Source Inputs.  Format A is a
summary of the various parameter inputs for a particular lake basin and reporting
agency.  A number of par?mcters are shown on each sheet.   It is discussed in
more detail later.

   Format B is a listing by parameter of the input sources for a particular lake
basin and reporting agency.   Only one parameter is shown on each sheet.  The
following points should be noted on Format B:

     1.)  The parameter name is at the top.   Below is the chemical species
          which it is expressed as (for example, ammonia might be expressed
          as NH-j or as N).   Below that are two other important pieces of in-
          formation about  the parameter — whether it is analyzed as diss-
          olved or total,  and the lower limit of detection.   For the purpose

-------
      of  this  report parameters analyzed as "total"  indicate  the  sample
      is  "unfiltered" prior  to analysis.  Two numbers  are  often used
      for "lower  limit detection" in Format B.  This is normally  clue
      to  differences in  techniques between stream samples  and 'waste-
      water  discharge samples.

 2.)   The tributary (T) , municipal (M) , and industrial (I)  sources
      which  have  been measured are listed and numbered consecutively.
      They are in the same sequence on each parameter  sheet.

 3.)   The "Period of Record" is the starting and ending dates of  the
      data used.  Generally, the period of record represents  the  study
      period,  July 1, 1973 through June 30, 1975.  However, Michigan
      included some industrial data collected in late  1972  and early
      1973.

 4.)   In  the data columns all units are meti'ic as noted.  English
      conversion  factors for flow and loadings are listed in  'the  lower
      left-hand corner.

 5,)   Mean loadings are calculated as follows, where n = no.  of samples:

      mean loading in kg/day = -pj-  Y^~[   (cone, in mg/l)i(flow in m3/sec) . (86.4)
                                 \-
6.)  If L = mean loading, and L^ = the individual loading values, i.e.  (cone.
     in mg/l)i(flow in ia3/sec)i(86.4) , then standard deviation is calculated
     as follows:
              standard deviation in kg/day =
                                             i / -...-.-.,.—
                                                    n- 1
     Non-random seasonal variations are taken into account by the periodic
     nature of the sampling program (monthly, with 3 extra samples taken
     during spring high flow periods).  The standard deviations x-7ere cal-
   .  culated assuming that the data were random.  Therefore, the mean load-
     ings are really more accurate than would be indicated by the high stan-
     dard deviations.  Deseasonalized data would result in smaller, more
     accurate standard deviations.

7.)  When all concentrations for a particular parameter at an input source
     are less than the limit of detection, the mean concentration and inaan
     loading are listed as "ND" (not detectable).   In other cases, some of
     the concentrations are not detectable, but some hnve measurable values.
     In these cases a value equal to one-half of the limit of detection is
     used in place of each non-detectable result when calculating mean con-
     centrations and loadings.   When this situation occurs the mean concen-
     tration may be less than the limit of detection ("ND" is not used).

B.)  In addition to "ND",  the following abbreviations are used in place of
     actual data as appropriate:

        NP = Assumed not present in significant, amount to warrant sampling.
        NA = Not applicable (Such as loadings for dissolved oxygen, pH,
               • turbidity, etc.)
       NIL = Where intake  concentration is greater than effluent concentration
                at industrial facilities.
        NS = Not sampled.

-------
 9.)  For sone industries the mean concentration of a particular parameter
      will be the difference between the intake and effluent concentrations.
      In these cases,  the concentration value is followed by the letter "N"
      to denote "Net".   All other concentrations are gross values.

10.)  Total dissolved  solids in ing/1 is obtained by multiplying conductivity
      in micromhos/crn  by 0.65.

11.)  For some parameters,  a wide choice of analytical methods is possible.
      To avoid duplication of parameter types and to reduce the volume of
      this report, certain parameters were treated the same for all agencies.
      Regardless of the individual analytical method used, the following
      parameters were  grouped:

           1.  Oil and Grease - 5 analytical methods were used
           2.  Turbidity - 3 analytical methods were used
           3.  Iron, Total - 2 analytical methods were used
           4.  Chemical  Oxygen Demand - 2 analytical methods were used
           5.  Chromium, Dissolved - Hexavalent and Trivalent forms x^ere
                  grouped with dissolved.

12.)  The contribution from the unsazipled tributaries of an agency's lake
      basin is the last item listed on Format B.  Loadings are calculated
      as follows:

           Mean Loadings in KG/DAY = mean cone, of unsampled tributaries x
           flow of unsarepled tributaries x 86,4.

      The mean concentration of the unsampled tributaries is obtained using
      the mean concentration of a set of sampled tributaries.  Each agency
      selected the following tributaries as representative of water quality
      in the unsampled basin:

           Michigan -  Lake Superior Basin:  Presque Isle, Ontonagon,
                      Silver, Tahquamenon and Two Hearted Rivers

           Michigan -  Lake Huron Basin:  Ocqueoc, Pigaon, Pine and
                      Willow Rivers and Van Etten Creek

          Minnesota -  Lake Superior Basin:  Gooseberry, Split Rock,
                      Beaver, Baptism, Manitou and Cross Rivers

          Wisconsin -  Lake Superior Basin:  Bad, Bois Brule, Montreal,
                      Nemadji Rivers

      The flow of the  tmsampled tributaries was determined for each agency
      as follows, where n = number of sampled tributaries:
                                  n
            Proportional flow =  YH. Tributary flows 5c proportionality
                                  irl                       constant

-------
          The constant is the ratio of the unsarapled drainage area to the sampled
          drainage area:  the constants for each agency are:

               Michigan - Lake Superior Basin - 0.56

                          Lake Huron Basin    - 0.14

              Minnesota - Lake Superior Basin - 0.09

              Wisconsin - Lake Superior Basin - 1.04

   13.)  Radioactivity counting error is analogous to the standard deviation of
         the concentration.  It is generally stated as the error at which the
         analyst is 95% confident that the measurements are accurate.

   14.)  Mean concentrations for coliforms are arithmetic means and not geo-
         metric means.


                                    Format A

   Format A is prepared from the completed Format B.  For each parameter the
various input sources are totaled in municipal, industrial, and tributary groups.
The tributary totals include the estimated inputs from the unsampled portions of
the basin.

    1.)  The "Loadings as % of Total" column on Format A is not completed for
         parameters vrith missing source type entries from Format B.

    2.)  Total solids and suspended solids are a gravimetric determination,
         Dissolved solids are computed from conductivity.  Therefore, total
         solids will not be the summation of suspended solids and dissolved
         solids.

    3.)  Total nitrogen, Formats A and B, is calculated by summing nitrate,
         nitrite, organic and ammonia nitrogens.  Total Kjeldahl nitrogen
         is not reported in STORET but rather its components, organic nitro-
         gen and ammonia, are stored.  For this project report total Kjeldahl
         nitrogen is the. summation of organic nitrogen and ammonia.


                Loadings of the Five Material Balance Parameters

   The five material balance parameters are summarized in Tables 1 arid 2 by Lake
Basin, using the data collected during the study period (from Format A).  The
summary includes the estimate of leadings from the unsampled portions of each
agency's drainage basin.

16. ABSTRACT
  The State of Michigan,  through funding by the  EPA,  participated  in the Internationa
  Joint Commission's Upper Lakes Reference Group (IJC-ULRG Work Group C) study of Lak
  Huron and Lake Superior tributaries.   During a two  year  period,  thirty-three of the
  major tributaries to Lakes Superior and Huron  were  sampled.   This  sampling program
  designed to provide tributary water quality and constituent  loading data to the ULR
  part of their study of these two lakes.  Michigan's participation  in the ULRG tribu
  sampling program consisted of planning, data collecting  and  analysis,  and data repo
  ing.  The work was performed in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Work Gr
  C (WG-C) of the ULRG.   The purpose of this report is to  describe Michigan's activit
  in this project and to summarize the resultant data and  constituent loadings.   For
  monthly + 3 high runoff sampling visits, a number of water quality parameters were
  analyzed and stream flow determinations were made.   Some parameters required more
  frequent sampling than others.  A listing of the parameters  sampled and their relat
  frequency is given in Table A-2, Appendix A and STORET.
