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)L clean lakes [§314(a»b)L
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)J 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 identifying point sources and soliciting municipal
participation in the Survey.

STOREY NO. 2649
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data and the records of others (Retelle and
Uttormark, 1971) show that Manistee Lake is eutrophic. Of
the 35 Michigan lakes sampled in November when essentially
all were well-mixed, five had less mean total phosphorus
eight had less mean dissolved phosphorus, and seven had less
mean inorganic nitrogen (the relatively low nutrient levels
probably are due to a very short hydraulic retention time);
of the 41 lakes sampled, 22 had greater mean Secchi disc
transparency, and 11 had less mean chlorophyll a*.
Marked depression of dissolved oxygen at 22 feet and
deeper occurred at station 2 in September, 1972.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
A significant loss of dissolved phosphorus occurred in the
algal assay sample between the time of collection and the begin-
ning of the assay, and the results are not representative of
conditions in the lake when the sample was taken (09/15/72).
The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation in November
and nitrogen limitation in June and September.
* See Appendix A.
-------
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—During the sampling year, Manistee Lake
received a total phosphorus load at a rate nearly three times
the rate proposed by Vollenweider (in press) as "dangerous";
i.e., a eutrophic rate (see page 12). However, Vollenweider's
model probably does not apply to water bodies with short
hydraulic retention times, and the hydraulic retention time
of Manistee Lake is certain to be short. For example, if
the mean depth of the lake is as much as one-half of the maxi-
mum depth of 49 feet (i.e., a mean depth of 25 feet), the mean
hydraulic retention time would be a very short five days, so
it is quite likely that Vollenweider's model does not apply
in this case.
It is calculated that the City of Manistee contributed
nearly 12% of the total phosphorus load to Manistee Lake
during the sampling year. The Manistee wastewater treatment
facilities that were operational during the Survey sampling
year have been replaced by a land-disposal system which does
not discharge to Manistee Lake. It is calculated that the
elimination of the City of Manistee phosphorus load reduced
2
the loading rate to about 12 g/m /yr. In view of the hydraulic
retention time of the lake, which is certain to be very short,
-------
it is likely that the Tower loading rate will result in
persistent phosphorus limitation and a reduction in the
incidence and severity of nuisance algal blooms, as well
as provide additional protection for Lake Michigan.
2. Non-point sources—Despite the renowned quality of the
Manistee and Little Manistee rivers (Fetterolf, 1970), it appears
that the very high drainage area to lake.area ratio of 1,368 to
1 will ensure a relatively high phosphorus loading to Manistee
Lake regardless of point sources. For example, if the low mean
annual phosphorus export rate of the Little Manistee River is
characteristic of the entire Manistee Lake drainage (see page 11),
the total phosphorus loading rate to the lake would be nearly 7
2
g/m /yr. This emphasizes the need to reduce all phosphorus inpi
to the lake to the greatest practicable degree.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Manistee Lake 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 two stations on
the lake and from a number of depths at each station (see map, page v).
During each visit, a single depth-integrated (15 feet to surface) sample
was composited from the 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, depth-
integrated samples were collected from each of the stations for chloro-
phyll ^analysis. The maximum depths sampled were 22 feet at station 1
and 38 feet at station 2.
The results obtained are presented in full in Appendix C, and the data
for the fall sampling period, when the lake essentially was well-mixed,
are summarized below. Note, however, the Secchi disc summary is based on
all values.

C. Limiting Nutrient Study:
The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum capricornutum,
was an unexpectedly low 1.0 mg/1 dry weight. At least in part,
this was due to a 35% loss of dissolved phosphorus in the assay
sample from the time of collection to the beginning of the assay,
but heavy metals also may have inhibited growth. Analysis of a
sub-sample of the assay sample indicated 96 yg/1 total zinc and 9
yg/1 total copper.
Had the phosphorus loss and/or heavy metals inhibition not
occurred, the expected control yield would have been a relatively
high 5 mg/1 dry weight based on yields obtained in other algal
assay samples with similar nutrient levels.
The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation in November (N/P
= 30/1), nitrogen limitation in September (N/P = 8/1), but a border-
line nitrogen limitation in June (N/P = 13/1).
-------
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
tributary sites indicated on the map (page vi), except for high runoff
months when two samples were collected. Sampling was begun in October,
1972, and was completed in October, 1973.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by
the Michigan 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*. Nutrient loadings for "minor
tributaries and immediate drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated by
2
using the means of the nutrient loads, in Ibs/mi /year, at stations A-2
2
and B-l and multiplying the means by the ZZ area in mi .
The operator of the Manistee wastewater treatment plant provided
monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data.
A number of industries discharge waste and/or cooling water to
Manistee Lake, but these discharges are not believed to be significant
i.n terms of primary nutrients.

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 hydraulic retention times.
Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen
Units _ Total Accumulated Total Accumulated
Ibs/acre/yr 121.6 19.7 2,803.6 loss*
grams/m2/yr 13.63 2.21 314.2
Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
(g/m^/yr) based on surface area and mean
outflow of Manistee Lake:
"Dangerous" (eutrophic rate) 4.80
"Permissible" (oligotrophic rate) 2.40
* The apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year may have been
due to nitrogen fixation, solubilization of previously sedimented
nitrogen, nitrogen-rich ground water recharge, or unmeasured point
sources. However, a similar loss of nitrogen has been observed at
Shagawa Lake, Minnesota, which has been intensively studied by EPA's
National Eutrophication and Lake Restoration Branch.
