                          FOREWORD
     The National Eutrophication Survey was initiated in 1972
in response to an Administration commitment to investigate the
nationwide threat of accelerated eutrophication to freshwater
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 nonpoint 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.

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.

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
watershed 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
freshwater 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:
               Noxontown Pond is considered eutrophic based upon
          field observations  and analysis of Survey data.   Emergent
          higher aquatic plants were observed during the field
          investigation.  Water clarity was low,  being "greenish
          to brown" and turbid.  Chlorophyll a^ levels ranged from
          a low of 2.9 micrograms/liter in the spring to a high
          of 76.1 micrograms/liter in the summer.   The lake is
          characterized by high nutrient concentrations (0.160
          mg/1  median total  phosphorus,  0.530 mg/1  median
          inorganic nitrogen) and high potential  for primary
          productivity as measured by algal assay control  yield.
     B.    Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
               Algal  assay results show that Noxontown Pond was
          phosphorus  limited  at the time the assay sample was
          collected (04/10/73).  The lake data indicate phos-
          phorus limitation  at the other sampling times as well.

-------
C.   Nutrient Controllability:
     1.   Point Sources - The mean annual phosphorus load from point
          sources was 19.4% of the total load reaching Noxontown Pond.
          The Townsend sewage treatment plant contributed 15.1% and
          the St. Andrews School in Middletown contributed 4.3%.
                                              p
          The present loading rate of 3.84 g/m /yr is above four
          times that proposed by Vollenweider (in press)  as "dangerous"
          or eutrophic and about nine times the oligotrophic rate.
          Total phosphorus reduction at the two wastewater treatment
          plants cited above would not appreciably change the loading
          rate.
     2.   Nonpoint Sources - The mean annual phosphorus load from
          nonpoint sources was about 81% of the total reaching the
          lake.  The measured tributaries accounted for 49% of the
          total phosphorus load and the ungaged drainage areas were
          estimated to have contributed about 31%.  Surrounding land
          uses and additional point sources contributing to Noxontown
          Pond must be analyzed before definitive recommendations
          on controllability can be made.

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
          Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized
     below.   The Noxontown Pond surface area was provided by
     the State of Delaware; mean depth was estimated based on
     survey data; tributary  flow data were provided by-the  Delaware
     District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)(outlet
     drainage area includes the lake surface area).   Mean
     hydraulic retention time was obtained by dividing the lake
     volume by the mean flow of the outlet.  Precipitation
     values are estimated by methods as outlined in  National
     Eutrophication Survey (NES) Working Paper No. 175.   A
     table of metric/English conversions is included as

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Noxontown Pond was  sampled three  times  during  the  open-
     water season of 1973 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 one or more depths  at each station  (see  map, page v).
     During each visit, depth-integrated samples  were  collected
     from each station for chlorophyll a^ analysis  and  phytoplankton
     identification and enumeration.   During  the  first visit,
     18.9-liter depth-integrated  samples were composited for algal
     assays.   Maximum depths  sampled were 1.5 meters at  Station 1,
     and 1.2  meters at Station 2.   For a more detailed explanation
     of NES methods, see NES  Working Paper  No.  175.
          The results obtained are  presented  in full in  Appendix D
     and are  summarized in III A  for waters at the surface and at
     the maximum depth for each site.  Results of  the  phytoplankton
     counts and chlorophyll a^ determinations  are  included in III B.
     Results  of the limiting  nutrient study are presented in III C.

          1.00 N
     2.   Discussion -
               The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum
          capricornutum, indicates that the potential primary
          productivity was high at the time the assay samples
          were collected.  The increase in yield with the
          increase of orthophosphorus indicates that Noxontown
          Pond was limited by phosphorus at that time.  Spikes
          with nitrogen and phosphorus simultaneously resulted
          in maximum yield.  The nitrogen spike alone did not
          produce any significant increase in the yield.  The
          lake mean total nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios
          for the spring, summer, and fall samplings were
          71:1, 41:1, and 29:1, respectively, further
          indicating phosphorus limitation.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
          For the determination of nutrient  loadings,  the  Delaware
     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 month of March  when two  samples were
     collected.   Sampling was begun in April  1973 and  was  completed
     in March 1974.
          Through an interagency agreement,  stream  flow  estimates
     for the year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year
     were provided by the Delaware District  Office  of  the  USGS for
     the tributary sites nearest the lake.
          In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries
     were determined by using a modification of the USGS computer
     program for calculating  stream loadings.   Nutrient  loads
     indicated for tributaries  are those measured minus  known point
     source loads, if any.
          Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries and
     immediate drainage" ("II"  of USGS)  were estimated by  using the
     mean annual  concentrations in Unnamed Inlet and Unnamed Stream
     at Stations  A(2)  and B(l), and mean annual  ZZ  flow.
          The operators of the  St.  Andrews School,  Middletown, and
     Townsend wastewater treatment plants provided  monthly effluent
     samples and  corresponding  flow data.

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 oligotrophic if morphometry permitted.   A
     mesotrophic rate would be considered one between "dangerous"
     and "permissible."

     Estimated loading rate for Noxontown Pond               3.84
     Vollenweider's "dangerous" or eutrophic rate            0.86
     Vollenweider's "permissible" or oligotrophic rate       0.43
