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
reservoirs.
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)],
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.
-------
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.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The staff of the National Eutrophication Survey (Office of
Research & Development, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the Michigan Department of
Natural Resources for professional involvement and to the
Michigan National Guard for conducting the tributary sampling
phase of the Survey.
A. Gene Gazlay, former Director, and David H. Jenkins, Acting
Director, Michigan Department of Natural Resources; and Carlos
Fetterolf, Chief Environmental Scientist, and Dennis Tierney,
Aquatic Biologist, Bureau of Water Management, Department of Natural
Resources, provided invaluable lake documentation and counsel during
the course of the Survey. John Vogt, Chief of the Bureau of Environ-
mental Health, Michigan Department of Public Health, and his staff
were most helpful in identfying point sources and soliciting municipal
participation in the Survey.
Major General Clarence A. Schnipke (Retired), then the Adjutant
General of Michigan, and Project Officer Colonel Albert W. Lesky,
who directed the volunteer efforts of the Michigan National Guardsmen,
are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data show that Belleville Lake is eutrophic. Of
the 35 Michigan lakes sampled in November when essentially
all were well-mixed, 25 had less mean total phosphorus, 21
had less mean dissolved phosphorus, and 27 had less mean
inorganic nitrogen; of all 41 Michigan lakes sampled, 30 had
less mean chlorophyll a_, and 30 had greater Secchi disc
transparency*.
Survey limnologists indicated overall poor water appearance
during the September sampling period. The water was quite
turbid, and an algal bloom was in progress.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The results of the algal assay show that the lake was nitro-
gen limited at the time the sample was collected (09/19/72).
The lake data indicate that Belleville Lake was nitrogen
limited in June also but phosphorus limited in November.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—During the sampling year, Belleville
Lake received a total phosphorus load at a rate nearly nine
times the rate proposed by Vollenweider (in press) as "dangerous";
* See Appendix A.
-------
i.e., a eutrophic rate (see page 14). Now, Belleville Lake
has a relatively short hydraulic retention time of 25 days,
and Vollenweider's model may not be applicable. However, the
existing trophic condition of the lake is evidence of exces-
sive nutrient loads.
It is calculated that the municipal waste treatment plants
considered in this study, including four plants impacting up-
stream Ford Lake*, contributed nearly 94% of the total phos-
phorus load. Removal of 85% of the phosphorus at the four
municipal point sources now without phosphorus removal (the
Ann Arbor plant has P removal) would reduce the loading to
2
7 g/m /yr or about four times the eutrophic rate. However,
in view of the questionable application of Vollenweider's
model, it is believed that this degree of reduction of the
phosphorus load would improve the trophic condition of Belle-
ville Lake and, in particular, would reduce the incidence and
severity of nuisance algal blooms.
2. Non-point sources—It is estimated that non-point
sources, including precipitation, contributed about 6% of
the total phosphorus load to Belleville Lake during the
sampling year.

The phosphorus export of the Huron River was quite low
as compared to the other Michigan streams sampled during the
Survey (see page 13).

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Belleville Lake was sampled three times during the open-water season
of 1972 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter. Each time, sam-
ples for physical and chemical parameters were collected from three sta-
tions on the lake (two stations in June) and from a number of depths at
each station (see map, page v). During each visit, a single depth-integrated
(near bottom to surface) sample was composited from the three stations for
phytoplankton identification and enumeration; and during the second visit,
a single five-gallon depth-integrated sample was composited for algal
assays. Also each time, a depth-integrated sample was collected from each
of the stations for chlorophyll ^analyses. The maximum depths sampled
were 4 feet at station 1, 15 feet at station 2, and 15 feet at station 3.
The results obtained are presented in full in Appendix C, and the
data for the fall sampling period, when the lake was essentially 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 C.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix D for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Michigan National
Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples from each of the tribu-
tary sites indicated on the map (page vi), except for the high runoff
months of March and April when two samples were collected. Also, an
additional sample was collected from station A-l in December and from
station A-2 in February. Sampling was begun in October, 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 Michi-
gan District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey for the tributary sites
nearest the lake.
In this report, nutrient loads for the Huron River were determined
by using a modification of a U.S. Geological Survey computer program for
calculating stream loadings*. However, the nutrient loads calculated
for Willow Run Creek were less than the Ypsilanti Township waste treatment
plant loads, and the nutrient loadings for this stream and the loadings
for the unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate drainage" ("ZZ" of
U.S.G.S.) were estimated by using the means of the nutrient concentrations
in unimpacted Mill Creek, tributary to nearby Ford Lake, at station D-l
and multiplying by the mean ZZ flow.
* See Working Paper No. 1.
-------

The operator of the Ypsilanti Township wastewater treatment plant
provided monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data.
Also, the Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Scio Webster, and Dexter treatment
plants are indirect point sources impacting Belleville Lake. These
plants directly affect Ford Lake just upstream; but Ford Lake only
retained 19% of the applied phosphorus load and 12% of the nitrogen
load. Therefore, the nutrient loads given for these four plants in
the following loading tables were adjusted for the Ford Lake retention.

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 waters would become eutrophic or remain eutrophic;
his "permissible" rate is that which would result in the
receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligo-
trophic if morphometry permitted. A mesotrophic rate would
be considered one between "dangerous" and "permissible".
Note that Vollenweider's model may not be applicable to
water bodies with very short hydraulic retention times.
Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen
Units Total Accumulated Total Accumulated
Ibs/acre/yr 140.5 34.9 1,944.9 loss*
grams/m2/yr 15.75 3.91 218.0
Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
(g/m^/yr) for Belleville Lake based on mean
depth and mean hydraulic retention time:
"Dangerous" (eutrophic rate) 1.76
"Permissible" (oligotrophic rate) 0.88
* There was an apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year. This
may have been due to nitrogen fixation in the lake, solubilization of
previously sedimented nitrogen, recharge with nitrogen-rich ground
water, unknown and unsampled point sources discharging directly to the
lake, or the limits of accuracy of the flow estimates provided by the
U.S.G.S. (page 4). Whatever the cause, a similar nitrogen loss has
occurred at Shagawa Lake, Minnesota, which has been intensively studied
by EPA's National Eutrophication and Lake Restoration Branch.
