                          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 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 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 fomatted to provide state environmental
agencies with specific information for basin planning [§303(e)j,  water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)],  clean lakes [5314(a,b)],
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

-------
                                    Ill
    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 Florida Department of Environ-
mental Regulation for professional involvement and to the Florida
National Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the  •
Survey.

    Joseph W. Landers, Jr., Secretary of the Department of Environ-
mental Regulation; John A Redmond, former Director of the Division
of Planning, Technical Assistance, and Grants; and Dr. Tim S. Stuart,
Chief of the Bureau of Water Quality, provided invaluable lake docu-
mentation and counsel during the survey, reviewed the preliminary
reports, and provided critiques most useful in the preparation of this
Working Paper series.

    Major General Henry W. McMillan (Retired), then the Adjutant
General of Florida, and Project Officer Colonel  Hugo F. Windham,
who directed the volunteer efforts of the Florida National Guard,
are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Crescent Lake is eutrophic.  It
        ranked fifteenth in overall trophic quality when the 41 Florida
        lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six
        parameters*.  Fourteen of the lakes had less median total phos-
        phorus, ten had less median dissolved phosphorus, 13 had less
        and two had the same median inorganic nitrogen, eight had less
        mean chlorophyll a_, and 17 had greater mean Secchi disc trans-
        parency.
            Survey limnologists observed algal scums and much rooted
        emergent vegetation.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate the lake was nitrogen
        limited at the time the sample was collected (03/10/73).  The
        lake data indicate nitrogen limitation at all sampling stations
        and times.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—It is estimated that 2.9% of the total
        phosphorus and 0.9% of the total nitrogen inputs to Crescent
        Lake during the sampling year were contributed by the Crescent
* See Appendix A.

City wastewater treatment plant.
    The sampling year phosphorus loading of 0.95 g/m2 is over
twice that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as a eutrophic loading.  However, even complete removal
of phosphorus at the Crescent City treatment plant would only
reduce the loading to 0.93 g/m2/yr; and even though the crit-
ical level for Florida lakes may be higher than that suggested
by Vollenweider (see page 11), it does not seem likely that
the degree of phosphorus reduction attainable by municipal
point-source control would result in an improvement in the
trophic condition of the lake unless other sources of phos-
phorus also can be controlled (see below).
    2.  Non-point sources—It is estimated that 97.1% of the
total phosphorus loading and 99.0% of the total nitrogen loading
to Crescent Lake were contributed by non-point sources.  The
largest contribution was from Haw Creek which accounted for 45.6%
of the total phosphorus and 68.8% of the total nitrogen inputs to
the lake.
    The 1966 Flagler County General Highway Map indicates that
land use in the Haw Creek drainage basin is both urban and
agricultural, and it is probable that any significant improve-
ment in the trophic condition of Crescent Lake would require
reduction of the Haw Creek phosphorus export as well as phos-
phorus control at the point source discussed above.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Crescent Lake was sampled three times in 1973 by means  of a
  pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter.   Each time,  samples for physical
  and chemical  parameters were collected from two depths at three
  stations on the lake (see map,  page v).  During each visit,  a single
  depth-integrated (near bottom to surface) sample was composited  from
  the stations  for phytoplankton  identification  and enumeration; and
  during the first visit, a single 18.9-liter depth-integrated sample
  was composited for algal  assays.  Also each time, a depth-integrated
  sample was collected from each  of the stations for chlorophyll a^
  analysis.   The maximum depths sampled were 2.1  meters at station 1,
  2.7 meters at station 2,  and 3.4 meters at station 3.
      The sampling results  are presented in full  in Appendix  D and
  are summarized in the following table.

    2.  Discussion -
            The  control  yield of the assay algal,  Selenastrum  capri-
        cornutum, indicates  that the potential  primary  productivity
        of Crescent Lake was  moderately high  at the  time the sample
        was collected (03/10/73).   Also,  the  lack  of significant
        increase in yield with the  addition of  orthophosphorus  until
        nitrogen was also added indicates that  the lake was limited
        by nitrogen at that  time.   Note that  the addition of nitrogen
        alone resulted in a yield greater than  that  of  the control.
            The  lake data also indicate nitrogen limitation.   Following
        is a tabulation  of the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus
        ratios for each  of the sampling stations and times with the
        indicated limiting nutrient in  parentheses.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Florida  National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples  from each  of  the
 tributary sites indicated on the map (page v).   Sampling was begun  in
 March, 1973, and was completed in February, 1974.
     Through an interagency agreement, stream flow  estimates  for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by
 the Florida 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 loads  for unsampled
 "minor tributaries and immediate drainage" ("II" of U.S.G.S.) were
 estimated using the means of the nutrient loads, in kg/km2/yr,  at stations
 B-l and C-l and multiplying the means by the II  area in km2.
     The operator of the Crescent City wastewater treatment plant sub-
 mitted only one effluent sample.  Therefore, nutrient loads  were esti-
 mated at 1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year,  and flows  were  esti-
 mated at 0.3785 m3/capita/day.

E.   Yearly Loads:
        In the following table,  the  existing phosphorus  loadings
    are compared to those proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider
    and Dillon,  1974).   Note,  however,  that Florida lakes  may be
    able to assimilate phosphorus at a  somewhat higher level  than
    that suggested by Vollenweider (Shannon and Brezonik,  1972).
        Essentially,  Vollenweider's  "dangerous" loading  is one
    at which the receiving water would  become eutrophic  or remain
    eutrophic;  his "permissible" loading is that which would  result
    in the receiving  water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligo-
    trophic if morphometry permitted.   A mesotrophic loading  would
    be considered one between  "dangerous" and "permissible".
        Vollenweider's  model may not be applicable to water bodies
    with short hydraulic retention times.

     hydraulic  retention time  of Crescent Lake:

        "Permissible"   (oligotrophic loading)       0.22
