                         FOREWORD
    The National Eutrophication Survey was initiated in 1972 in
response to an Administration commitment to investigate the nation-
wide threat of accelerated eutrophication to fresh water lakes and
reservoi rs.

OBJECTIVES

    The Survey was designed to develop, in conjunction with state
environmental agencies, information on nutrient sources, concentrations,
and impact on selected freshwater lakes as a basis for formulating
comprehensive and coordinated national, regional, and state management
practices relating to point-source discharge reduction and non-point
source pollution abatement in lake watersheds.

ANALYTIC APPROACH

    The mathematical and statistical procedures selected for the
Survey's eutrophication analysis are based on related concepts that:

        a.  A generalized representation or model relating
    sources, concentrations, and impacts can be constructed.

        b.  By applying measurements of relevant parameters
    associated with lake degradation, the generalized model
    can be transformed into an operational representation of
    a lake, its drainage basin, and related nutrients.

        c.  With such a transformation, an assessment of the
    potential for eutrophication control can be made.

LAKE ANALYSIS                                                     '

    In this report, the first stage of evaluation of lake and water-
shed data collected from the study lake and its drainage basin is
documented.  The report is formatted to provide state environmental
agencies with specific information for basin planning [§303(e)], water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)], clean lakes [§314(a,b)L
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

-------
                                iii
    Beyond the single lake analysis, broader based correlations
between nutrient concentrations (and loading) and trophic condi-
tion are being made to advance the rationale and data base for
refinement of nutrient water quality criteria for the Nation's
fresh water lakes.  Likewise, multivariate evaluations for the
relationships between land use, nutrient export, and trophic
condition, by lake class or use, are being developed to assist
in the formulation of planning guidelines and policies by EPA
and to augment plans implementation by the states.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Hanover Pond is a hypereutrophic water body characterized
        by high turbidity and high nutrient levels on all  sampling dates,
        Frequent algal blooms have been reported*.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The results of the algal assay of the pond sample collected
        in May, 1973 indicate possible trace-element limitation.
            The 1972 lake data indicate nitrogen limitation at all
        sampling times, (N/P ratios were 10/1 or less).
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—During the sampling year, Hanover Pond
        received a total phosphorus load at a rate more than 48 times
        the rate proposed by Vollenweider (in press) as "dangerous";
        i.e., a eutrophic rate (see page 13).  While Vollenweider's
        model may not be applicable to water bodies with very short
        hydraulic retention times, the hypereutrophic condition of
        Hanover Pond is evidence of the exceptionally large nutrient
        loading received.
            It is calculated that the two point sources considered in
        this study contributed about 52% of the total phosphorus load.
* Anonymous, 1972.

-------
        Even complete removal of phosphorus at the two point sources
        would still leave a loading about 23 times the eutrophic rate,
        and it is concluded that control of phosphorus at the two
        point sources studied would not result in significant improve-
        ment in the trophic condition of Hanover Pond.
            2.  Non-point sources (see page 13)~The phosphorus exports
        of the Quinnipiac River and Harbor Brook were quite high during
        the sampling year (ca. four times the P export of Sodom Brook).
        The high export of the Quinnipiac River likely is due to point
        sources beyond the 25-mile limit of the Survey*, and the high
        export of Harbor Brook may be due to urban drainage in the City
        of Meriden.
            In all, non-point sources are estimated to have contributed
        over 47% of the total phosphorus load to Hanover Pond during the
        sampling year.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Hanover Pond was sampled three times during the open-water season
  of 1972 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter.   Each time,
  samples for physical and chemical parameters were collected from one
  or more depths at a single station on the lake (see map, page v).
  During each visit, a single depth-integrated (near bottom to surface)
  sample was collected for phytoplankton identification and enumeration;
  and a similar sample was taken for chlorophyll a_ analysis.  During
  the last visit, a five-gallon depth-integrated sample was collected
  for algal assays.  The maximum depth sampled was 8 feet.
      The results obtained are presented in full in Appendix B, and the
  data for the fall sampling period, when the pond essentially was well-
  mixed, are summarized below.  Note, however, the Secchi  disc summary
  is based on all values.
      For differences in the various parameters at the other sampling
  times, refer to Appendix B.

                The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum capri-

            cornutum, indicates that the potential  primary productivity

            of Hanover Pond was very high at the time the sample was col-

            lected in May, 1973*.

                With the N/P ratio of the control,  the sample should have

            been nitrogen limited; and with the increased spikes of ortho-

            phosphorus, the samples should have become even more nitrogen

limited.  However, the 0.05 mg/1 orthophosphorus spike
resulted in a marked increase in yield despite a N/P
ratio of 8/1 (which indicates the sample was nitrogen
limited).  Also, with a nitrogen-limited control sample,
the addition of nitrogen should have resulted in a yield
much greater than the control yield.  Note, however, that
the nitrogen-only spike resulted in a yield not signifi-
cantly greater than the control yield.
    The results, then, indicate the growth of the test
alga in the assay sample was limited by something other
than phosphorus or nitrogen.  Possibly a trace element
(i.e., a contaminant) was present in sufficient quantity
in the largest orthophosphorus spike to stimulate a growth
response but was absent or of insufficient quantity in the
nitrogen-only spike.
    The 1972 pond data indicate nitrogen limitation at all
sampling times.  All of the N/P ratios were 10/1 or less,
and nitrogen limitation would be expected.

-------
IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix C for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  Connecticut  National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples  from each  of the
 tributary sites indicated on the map (page v), except for  periods of no
 flow or ice cover when samples  were omitted at some  of the stations.
 Sampling was begun in August,  1972 and was completed in September,  1973.
     Through an interagency agreement, stream flow  estimates  for  the
 year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year  were provided by
 the Connecticut District Office of the U.S. Geological  Survey  for the
 tributary sites nearest the lake.
     In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were  deter-
 mined by using a modification  of a U.S.  Geological Survey  computer
 program for calculating stream  loadings*.   The nutrient loads  given for
 the Quinnipiac River are those  measured at station A-2 minus the point
 source loads.   The phosphorus  load determined in this way  approximated
 (85 percent) that  obtained by  using upstream (station A-6)  phosphorus
 concentrations and A-2 flows.   However,  by either  method of  calculation,
 this "non-point" loading is approximately five times the anticipated
 non-point loading estimates obtained by using Sodom  Creek  phosphorus
 concentrations and inlet flows.
     Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
 drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using  the means  of the

      E.  Yearly Loading Rates:
              In the following table, the existing phosphorus loading
          rates are compared to those proposed by Vollenweider (in press).
          Essentially, his "dangerous" rate is the rate at which the
          receiving water would become eutrophic or remain eutrophic;
          his "permissible" rate is that which would result in the
          receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligotrophic
          if morphometry permitted.  A mesotrophic rate would be consid-
          ered one between "dangerous" and "permissible".
              Note that Vollenweider's model may not be applicable to
          water bodies with very short detention times.

          Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
           (g/m^/yr) based on mean depth and mean
           hydraulic retention time of Hanover Pond:
              o
              "Dangerous"  (eutrophic rate)       4.50
              "Permissible"  (oligotrophic rate)  2.25
* There was an apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year.  This may
  have been due to nitrogen fixation in the pond, solubilization of previously
  sedimented nitrogen, recharge with nitrogen-rich ground water, unknown and
  unsampled point sources discharging directly to the pond, or the limits of
  accuracy of the flow estimates provided by U.S.G.S. (see page 3).
        Whatever the cause, a similar nitrogen loss has occurred at Shagawa Lake,
  Minnesota, which has been studied intensively by EPA's National  Eutrophication
  Research and Lake Restoration Branch.
