                          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 formatted to provide state environmental
agencies with specific information for basin planning [§303(e)], water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)'j,  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
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.  INTRODUCTION
     Lake Eloise is one of the Winter Haven chain of lakes.   The hydrology
 of this chain is complex, and personnel  of the U.S.  Geological  Survey  ques-
 tion whether realistic analyses of nutrient loadings to  the lakes  can  be
 made;  i.e.,  depending on the operation of control  gates, wind direction
 and velocity, and other factors,  flows in the connecting canals may  have
 reversed from one sampling time to the next (Anderson,  1974).   For example,
 during the Survey sampling year,  the less-than-normal  precipitation  prob-
 ably resulted in a net flow from Lake Lulu to Lake Eloise rather than
 the reverse (Dye, 1976).
     It will  be noted in Appendix C that daily flows could not be provided
 by the U.S.  Geological  Survey, and it cannot be determined whether net
 flows  were to or from Lake Eloise at any of the sampling stations  or times.
 Therefore, nutrient loads to the lake cannot be calculated; however, the
 canal  sampling data are included in Appendix E for the record.
II.   CONCLUSIONS
     A.   Trophic Condition:
             Survey data indicate that Lake Eloise is eutrophic.  It
         ranked thirty-first in overall  trophic quality when the 41
         Florida lakes sampled in 1973 were compared  using a combination
         of six lake parameters*.   Thirty-eight of the lakes had less

    median total phosphorus, 32 had less median dissolved phos-
    phorus, 20 had less median inorganic nitrogen, 29 had less mean
    chlorophyll a_, and 15 had greater mean Secchi disc transparency.
    Marked depression of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at
    station 1 in March.
        Survey limnologist noted macrophytes in about 90% of the
    shoreline shallows near both sampling stations.
B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
        The results of the algal assay indicate that Lake Eloise
    primary production was limited by nitrogen at the time the
    sample was collected.  Inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus
    ratios in the lake water confirm the algal assay conclusions;
    i.e., N/P ratios were less than 1/1 on all sampling occasions.

IV.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
     Lake Eloise was sampled three times during 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 a number
 of 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 4.6 meters at station 1  and 3.0 meters at
 station 2.
     The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D  and are sum-
 marized in the following table.

    2.   Discussion -
            The  control yield  of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-
        cornutum, indicates that the potential  primary  productivity
        of Lake  Eloise was  high at the time the assay sample was
        collected.  The lack of significant change in yield  with
        the addition of orthophosphorus and marked increase  in
        yield when nitrogen was added indicate the lake was  nitrogen
        limited  when sampled (03/08/73).
            Nitrogen limitation is also indicated by the  lake data;
        i.e., the mean inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios,,
        were less than 1 to 1  at all  sampling stations  and times.
