    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)],  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.

-------
                                    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 Lake Haines is eutrophic.   It
        ranked 15th in overall trophic quality when the 41  Florida
        lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination  of
        six parameters*.  Eleven of the lakes had less and one had
        the same median total phosphorus and median dissolved phos-
        phorus, eight had less and one had the same median inorganic
        nitrogen, 17 had less mean chlorophyll 
-------
                             2
the critical loading for Florida lakes may be somewhat higher
than that suggested by Vollenweider (see page 11), the trophic
condition of the lake is indicative of excessive nutrient loads.
It is calculated that diversion of the Lake Alfred treatment plant
effluent would reduce the phosphorus loading to 0.16 g/m2/yr (a
mesotrophic loading).
    2.  Non-point sources—It is estimated that non-point sources,
including precipitation, contributed approximately 23% of the total
phosphorus and 94% of the total nitrogen inputs to Lake Haines.
    The 1970 Winter Haven U.S.G.S.  quadrangle map indicates  that
land use around the lake is mainly agricultural  (citrus)  and
marsh.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Lake Haines 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 or more depths at
  one station on the lake (see map, page v).   During each visit, a
  single depth-integrated (near bottom to surface) sample was collected
  for phytoplankton identification and enumeration,  and  a similar sample
  was collected for chlorophyll ^analysis.   During the  first visit, a
  single 18.9-liter depth-integrated sample  was  taken  for algal assays.
  The maximum depth sampled was 3.7 meters.
      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 Lake Haines was moderately high at the time  the sample
        was collected (03/08/73).  The results  also indicate nitrogen
        limitation.  Note that the addition of orthophosphorus  alone
        did not result in an increase in yield,  but the addition of
        nitrogen alone resulted in a yield double that  of the control.
            The lake data substantiate nitrogen limitation at the
        time the sample was collected; i.e., the mean inorganic nitrogen/
        orthophosphorus  ratio  was 10/1.   Mean N/P ratios in September
        and November were 12/1 and 6/1,  respectively.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of outlet nutrient loadings,  the  Florida National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples  from  the  outlet site
 indicated on the map (page v).   Sampling was begun in March,  1973, and
 was completed in February, 1974.
     Through an interagency agreement,  flow estimates for  the  year of samp-
 pi ing and a "normalized" or average year were provided  by the Florida
 District Office of the U.S. Geological  Survey for  the outlet  canal.
     In this report, nutrient loads for the outlet  canal were  determined
 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 mean nutrient loads  from citrus groves,  in kg/km2/year (Brezonik
 and Shannon, 1971), and multiplying by the II area in km2.
     The operator of the Lake Alfred wastewater treatment  plant provided
 monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data.

D.   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.
