    The National F.utrophi cation Survey w&s 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 arid 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)], clean lakes [§3H(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
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)

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Doctors Lake is eutrophic.   It
        ranked seventeenth in overall trophic quality when the 41  Florida
        lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six
        lake parameters*.  Sixteen of the lakes had less median total
        phosphorus, 16 had less and one had the same median dissolved
        phosphorus, nine had less and one had the same median inorganic
        nitrogen, 17 had less mean chlorophyll a_, and 16 had greater
        mean Secchi disc transparency.
            Survey limnologists noted extensive beds of floating and
        emergent macrophytes near each of the three sampling stations
        during one or more visits and observed a bloom of filamentous
        algae along the shoreline near station 3 in November.
    B.  Rate-Limi ting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate Doctors Lake was nitrogen
        limited at the time the sample was collected (03/07/73).   The
        lake data indicate nitrogen limitation each sampling time at
        stations 1 and 3 and at the second and last sampling times at
        station 2.
* See Appendix A.

C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.   Point sources—During the sampling year,  Doctors Lake
    received a total  phosphorus loading nearly three  times
    that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider  and Dillon, 1974)
    as a eutrophic loading (see page 13).   Approximately 89% of this
    load came from three Orange Park sewage treatment plants.
    However, these plants were closed in March and April of 1975,
    and the wastewater was diverted to larger plants  which dis-
    charge  to St.  Johns River  downstream from Doctors Lake (Dutton,
    1975).   Based on the sampling year data, this reduced the total
    phosphorus loading rate to 0.08 g/m2/yr which is  less than
    Vollenweider's proposed oligotrophic loading.  It is likely
    that the trophic condition of the lake  will  improve significantly
    once a  new phosphorus equilibrium is established,  and phosphorus
    more frequently becomes the limiting nutrient.
        2.   Non-point sources—Direct precipitation was the major
    non-point source of phosphorus during the sampling year,
    contributing about 6% of the total  phosphorus load.  Minor
    tributaries and immediate  drainage and  Swimming Creek con-
    tributed about 4% and 1% of the total phosphorus  load respec-
    tively.

III.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Doctors 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 three stations on the
  lake and from one or more depths at each station (see map, page  v).
  During each visit, a single depth-integrated (4.6 m or 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 4.9 meters at station 1, 2.7 meters at station 2, and 1.5 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 alga,  Selenastrum capri-
        cornutum, indicates that the potential  primary productivity
        of Doctors Lake was moderately high at the time the assay
        sample was collected (03/07/73).   Also, the increased yield
        when only nitrogen was added and the lack of response when
        orthophosphorus alone was added indicate that the lake
        was nitrogen limited when at that time.
            With the exception of sampling station 2 during the
        first visit (mean N/P ratio = 20/1), the lake data indicate
        nitrogen limitation at all sampling times (i.e., the mean
        inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios were less than
        9 to 1).

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
 determined by using a modification of a U.S.  Geological Survey  com-
 puter program for calculating stream loadings*.  Nutrient loads for
 unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate drainage"  ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.)
 were estimated using the nutrient loads,  in kg/km2/year,  at  station
 B-l  and multiplying by  the ZZ area in km2.
     The operators of the Orange Park sewage treatment plants did not
 participate;  nutrient loads from these sources were  estimated at 1.134
 kg P and 3.401  kg N/capita/year,  and flows were  estimated at 0.3785
 m3/capita/day.

E.  Yearly Loading Rates:
        In the following table, the existing phosphorus loading
    rates are compared to those proposed by Vollenweider (Vollen-
    weider 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" 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 if morphometry
    permitted.  A mesotrophic rate would be considered one between
    "dangerous" and "permissible".
        Vollenweider's model  may not be applicable to water bodies
    with short hydraulic retention times.

    Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
     (g/m2/yr) based on mean  depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Doctors Lake:
        "Dangerous"  (eutrophic rate)        0.26
        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic rate)   0.13
