                         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 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 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)L 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.

-------
                                m
    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.

    CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Slocum Lake is  highly  eutrophic.
        It ranked 27th in overall trophic quality when the 31  Illinois
        lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination  of  six
        parameters*.  Twenty-nine lakes had less median total  phosphorus,
        28 had less median dissolved  phosphorus, three had less  and one
        had the same median inorganic nitrogen, all of the other lakes
        had less mean chlorophyll a_,  and 26 had greater mean Secchi
        disc transparency.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate nitrogen limitation.   The
        lake data also indicate  nitrogen limitation;  i.e., mean  N/P
        ratios were less than 1/1 at  all sampling times.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—The phosphorus contribution from  the
        Wauconda wastewater treatment plant amounted  to nearly 53%  of
        the total load reaching  Slocum Lake during the sampling  year.
        Shoreline septic tanks were estimated to have contributed 0.2%
        of the total load.
* See Appendix A.

-------
    The present phosphorus loading rate of 11.18 g/m2/yr is far
greater than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and
Dillon, 1974) as a eutrophic rate (see page 12).  On the basis
of Survey data, it is very probable that the quality of Slocum
Lake will continue to deteriorate if the present loading rate
is maintained.  Because of the highly eutrophic condition of
the lake, all phosphorus inputs should be minimized to the
greatest practicable extent.
    2.  Non-point sources—The phosphorus load from non-point
sources accounted for 47.0% of the total load reaching the lake
during the sampling year.  The only measured tributary, Bangs
Creek, contributed 39.5%, and the ungaged drainage area was
estimated to have contributed 7.3% of the total phosphorus
load.
    The phosphorus export rate of Bangs Creek was a high 210
kg/km2 during the sampling year (see page 12).  This high rate
and the export N/P ratio of less than 2/1 are indicative of
unmeasured point sources or significant urban runoff in the
drainage.  In this regard, it is noted that the measured
phosphorus contribution of the City of Wauconda (to Bangs Creek)
was about that expected on a per-capita contribution basis.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Slocum 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 usually from two depths (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 taken for chlorophyll a_ analysis.  During  the
  first visit, a single 18.9-liter depth-integrated sample was collected
  for algal  assays.  The maximum depth sampled was 1.5 meters.
      The lake 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 Slocum Lake was high at the  time the  sample  was  collected.
        There was a significant increase in yield  when  only nitrogen
        was added, but there  was no change in yield  when orthophos-
        phorus alone was added.  These  results indicate nitrogen
        limitation.
            The lake data also indicate nitrogen limitation; i.e.,
        the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus  ratios  were less
        than 1/1  at all  sampling times, and nitrogen limitation would
        be expected.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  Illinois 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 June,  1973, and was completed  in  May, 1974.
     Through an  interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized"  or  average year  were provided by
 the Illinois 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*  (the outlet flow at station
 C-l was insignificant, and loadings  were not calculated).  Nutrient
 loads shown are those measured minus point-source loads, if any.
     Nutrient loads  for unsampled  "minor tributaries  and immediate
 drainage" ("II" of  U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the adjusted nu-
 trient loads, in kg/km2/year,  at  station A-2 and multiplying by the
 II  area in km2.
     The operator of the Wauconda  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 (Vollen-
    weider and Dillon, 1974).  Essentially, his "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 or  becoming
    oligotrophic if morphometry permitted.  A mesotrophic rate  would
    be considered one between "dangerous" and "permissible".
        Note that Vollenweider's model may not be applicable to
    water bodies with short hydraulic retention times.

    grams/m2/yr              11.18     6.68          31.8      10.4

    Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
     (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Slocum Lake:
        "Dangerous"  (eutrophic rate)       0.38
        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic rate)  0.19
