                         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)],
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

-------
                                m
    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:
            Rochdale Pond,  one of several  small  impoundments  in  the
        headwaters  of the French River system,  is  characterized  by
        slightly acid, brownish colored waters  with  low transparency
        and low to  moderate productivity.   Rooted  aquatic  plants are
        scarce, and the relatively low phytoplankton crops  are repre-
        sented primarily by diatoms  and Chlorococcales  of  the types
        commonly associated with eutrophic water bodies.   The high
        humic  content and acid nature of the water are  suggestive of
        dystrophic  conditions.
    B.   Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            From a  nutrient standpoint, the results  of  the  algal assay
        indicate that Rochdale Pond was nitrogen limited at the  time
        the sample  was collected (10/06/72).  The  pond  data also indi-
        cate nitrogen limitation;  i.e., the inorganic nitrogen/dissolved
        phosphorus  ratios ranged from 4/1  to 8/1,  and nitrogen limitation
        would  be expected.
            However,  the humic colored water, the  composition and quantity
        of  phytoplankton associated with relatively  high nutrient levels,
        and the Secchi  disc transparency,  indicate that the primary
        productivity  of the pond more likely was light-limited.

-------
C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.  Point sources—During the sampling year, Rochdale Pond
    received a total phosphorus load at a rate over three times
    that proposed by Vollenweider (in press) as "dangerous";  i.e.,
    a eutrophic rate (see page 14).   Now, Vollenweider's model
    probably does not apply to water bodies with short hydraulic
    retention times, and the mean hydraulic retention time of
    Rochdale Pond is a short 4^ days.  Nonetheless, the existing
    trophic condition of the pond is evidence of excessive nutrient
    loads.
        It is calculated that the Village of Leicester contributed
    9% of the total  phosphorus load  to the pond during the sampling
    year.  Even complete removal  of  phosphorus at this source would
    only reduce the total phosphorus load to the pond to 61.5 Ibs/
                    2
    acre/yr (6.9 g/m /yr); and it does not appear likely that phos-
    phorus control at the Leicester  wastewater treatment plant at
    this time would result in a significant improvement in the
    trophic condition of Rochdale Pond.  However, if the phosphorus
    contribution of the plant is  increased in the future, the need
    for phosphorus removal should be re-evaluated.
        It is noted that there was an apparent loss of phosphorus
    from the pond during the sampling year.  It is believed that
    the "loss" is the result of underestimation of phosphorus loads
    in the process wastewater of  the Carleton Woolen Company  which

-------
is discharged to the French River below the outlet of Rochdale
Pond but upstream from the Survey outlet sampling station.  The
loads from this source (subtracted from Survey outlet loads)
were calculated on the basis of a 12-hour-day operation (Anony-
mous, 1973); however, the mill more commonly operates 24 hours
a day (Chesebrough, 1975).
    2.  Non-point sources—During the sampling year, the phos-
phorus export rates of the French River and the unnamed tribu-
tary (E-l) were appreciably greater than the export rate of
Grindstone Brook (see page 14).  The higher export rate of the
French River may be due to underestimation of the Leicester
load, but the much higher export rate of the unnamed stream
may be due to urban drainage in the community of Rochdale.
    It is calculated that the non-point phosphorus exports of
the measured tributaries total about 86% of the total phosphorus
load, to the pond during the sampling year.

III.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Rochdale Pond 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  two stations
  on  the pond and from a number of depths at each station  (see map, page v).
  During each visit, a single depth-integrated (near bottom to surface)  sam-
  ple was composited from the two stations for phytoplankton identification
  and enumeration; and during the last 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 chloro-
  phyll  a^ analysis.  The maximum depths sampled were 10 feet at  station  1
  and 8 feet at station 2.
      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,

cates that the potential primary productivity
    of Rochdale Pond was moderately high at the time the assay
    sample was collected (10/06/72).
        Also,' the results indicate the pond was nitrogen limited.
    Note that spikes of phosphorus alone did not stimulate a

-------
growth response, but the addition of nitrogen alone resulted
in a yield significantly greater than the control  yield.
    The pond data indicate nitrogen limitation in  August as
well (the N/P ratio was 6/1) but phosphorus limitation in
June (the N/P ratio was 30/1).

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix C for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  Massachusetts
 National Guard collected monthly near-surface  grab samples  from each
 of  the tributary sites indicated on the map (page v),  except  for the
 high runoff months of March and April  when  two samples were collected
 at  most stations.  Sampling was begun in September,  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 New England 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
 unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate  drainage" ("II"  of U.S.G.S.)
                                                      2
 were estimated by using the nutrient loads, in Ibs/mi  /yr,  in Grind-
                                                               2
 stone Brook at station C-l and multiplying  by  the II area in  mi  .
     The community of Leicester did not participate in  the Survey,  and
 nutrient loads were determined using nutrient  and flow data obtained
 by  the Massachusetts Division  of Water Pollution Control**.

    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 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

        Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
         (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
         hydraulic retention time of Rochdale Pond:
            "Dangerous"  (eutrophic rate)       2.26
            "Permissible"  (oligotrophic rate)  1.13
