                          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.

     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
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)L water quality criteria/standards review
[§303(c)], clean lakes [§314(a,bj], 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.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I.    CONCLUSIONS
     A.    Trophic Condition:
               Silver Lake is classified as eutrophic based upon
          Survey data.   Heavy growths of aquatic weeds (spatter-
          dock and smartweed) clog the upper reaches of the lake.
          Potential for primary productivity as measured by algal
          assay control yield, chlorophyll  a^ levels, and nutrient
          concentrations was  high.   Dissolved oxygen concentrations
          were depressed during summer sampling, and water clarity
          was generally low.  Phytoplankton genera identified were
          generally pollution-tolerant forms.
     B.    Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
               Algal  assay results indicate that at the time of
          sampling, phosphorus and nitrogen were present in
          sufficient concentrations  that some  unidentified nutrient
          limited growth of the assay alga  before either of the
          major nutrients was exhausted. Lake data concerning the
          ratios of inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus (greater
          than 46:1 on  all three sampling rounds) suggest that
          phosphorus would become  limiting  well before available
          nitrogen was  depleted.

-------
C.   Nutrient Controllability:
     1.   Point Sources - The mean annual phosphorus load
          from point sources was estimated to be 44.3% of
          the total load reaching Silver Lake.  The Middletown
          wastewater treatment plant contributed 44.2% of the
          total load.
     2.   Nonpoint Sources - The mean annual  phosphorus load
          from nonpoint sources was 55.7% of the total load
          reaching Silver Lake.  Measured tributaries accounted
          for 53.1% of the total phosphorus load, and the
          remaining drainage areas were estimated to have
          contributed 2.5%.
          The present loading rate of 52.47 g P/m2/yr is
     approximately six times the "dangerous"  (eutrophic)
     rate proposed by Vollenweider (in press) for a lake
     of such volume and detention time.  However,
     Vollenweider's model  probably does not apply to water
     bodies with short hydraulic retention times, and the
     hydraulic retention time  of Silver Lake  is only 8 days.
     Further analysis of surrounding land uses and unknown
     nutrient sources is needed before recommendations for
     the improvement of water  quality  in Silver Lake can
     be made.

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
          Lake and drainage basin characteristics  are itemized
     below.   Lake 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 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  Appendix A.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Silver Lake 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 one station on the lake
     and from a number of  depths  at that station (see map,
     page v).  During each visit, depth-integrated samples were
     collected from the station for chlorophyll  a_ analysis and
     phytoplankton identification and enumeration.  During the
     first visit, an 18.9-liter depth-integrated sample was
     composited for algal  assays.  The maximum depth  sampled
     was 2.4 meters.  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  the sampling
     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.

C.   Limiting Nutrient Study:

          0.05 P
          0.05 P + 1.0 N
          1.00 N
     2.   Discussion -
               The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum
          capricornutum, indicates that the potential for primary
          production in Silver Lake was high at the time of
          sampling.  Spikes with phosphorus and nitrogen alone,
          or simultaneous addition of these two nutrients failed
          to enhance the control yield.  It appears that those
          major nutrients are present in sufficient concentrations
          to allow reduction of some undetermined nutritional
          element to levels which are limiting to lake productivity.
              The ratios of the mean inorganic nitrogen to ortho-
          phosphorus for all three sampling dates were greater than
          46:1,  suggesting that phosphorus could become limiting
          while nitrogen still remained at high levels.

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" ("ZZ"  of USGS)  were estimated by  using
     the mean annual concentrations in Unnamed Stream  at
     Station B(l) and mean annual  ZZ flow.
          The operator of the Middletown wastewater treatment
     plant 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."

                             Total Yearly
                        Phosphorus Loading Rate
                            (grams/m^/year)
     Estimated loading rate for Silver Lake                 32.47
     Vollenweider's "dangerous" or eutrophic rate            4.88
     Vollenweider's "permissible" or oligotrophic rate       2.44
