                         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.

    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.

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.
      For differences in the various parameters at the other sampling  times,

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.

        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.
