                          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 Take, 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.

-------
                                 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.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

    The staff of the National Eutrophication Survey (Office of
Research & Development, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the Indiana State Board of
Health for professional involvement, to the Indiana National
Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the Survey,
and to those Indiana wastewater treatment plant operators who
provided effluent samples and flow data.

    The staff of the Division of Water Pollution Control, Indiana
State Board of Health, provided invaluable lake documentation and
counsel during the Survey, reviewed the preliminary reports, and
provided critiques most useful in the preparation of this Working
Paper series.

    Major General Alfred F. Ahner, Adjutant General of Indiana,
and Project Officers Lt. Colonel Charles B. Roberts (Retired)
and Colonel Robert L. Sharp, who directed the volunteer efforts
of the Indiana National Guardsmen, are also gratefully acknowledged
for their assistance to the Survey.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Bass Lake is eutrophic.   It ranked
        twelfth in overall trophic condition  when the 27 Indiana lakes
        sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six param-
        eters*.  Fifteen of the lakes had less median total  phosphorus,
        14 had less and one had the same median dissolved phosphorus,
        six had less median inorganic nitrogen, 20 had less  mean chloro-
        phyll a_, and 21 had greater mean Secchi disc transparency.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate  that Bass Lake  was phosphorus
        limited at the time the sample was collected (05/02/73).  The  lake
        data indicate phosphorus limitation in August as well  but marginal
        nitrogen limitation in October.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—No known municipal or industrial point
        sources impacted Bass Lake during the sampling year.   Lakeshore
        septic tanks were estimated to have contributed 23.7% of the
        total load reaching the lake, but a shoreline survey would be
        necessary to determine the significance of those sources.
* See Appendix A.

-------
                             2
    The present phosphorus loading of 0.09 g/m2/yr is  less
than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 11).
    The trophic condition of the lake at this  time may be the
result of greater nutrient loadings in the past.  For  example,
since the phosphorus ban was instituted in January, 1972,
there was an estimated decrease in domestic wastewater phosphorus
of about 50%.  In other words, the 115 kg P/yr now estimated to
have come from septic tanks (see page 9) would have been about
230 kg P/yr before the ban.  The total phosphorus loading rate
prior to the 1972 ban (assuming no other changes have  taken
place in phosphorus loading) is estimated at 600 kg P/yr  (0.11
g/m2/yr); i.e., 19% greater than the present load.
    With a mean hydraulic retention time of three years, a  lag
time of several years would be expected before improvement  in the
quality of the lake becomes apparent.
    2.  Non-point sources—The phosphorus load from non-point
sources was estimated to have been 76.3% of the total  load  during
the sampling year.  No gaged tributaries were  sampled  during the
year; the ungaged tributaries were estimated to have contributed
55.7% of the total phosphorus load.

III.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Bass 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 usually were  collected
  from two or more depths at three stations  on the  lake  (see map, page
  v).   During each visit, a single depth-integrated (near  bottom to sur-
      *•
  face)  sample was composited from the stations for phytoplankton identi-
  fication 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
  0.6  meters at station 1, 4.9 meters  at station 2, and  2.1  meters at
  station 3.
      The sampling results are presented in  full  in Appendix D and
  are  summarized in the following table.

        Spike (mg/1)     Cone, (mg/1)      Cone,  (mg/1)   (mg/1-dry wt.)
        Control              0.030             0.856           8.3
        0.050 P              0.080             0.856           21.6
        0.050 P  + 1.0 N     0.080             1.856           26.4
        1.0 N               0.030             1.856           10.5
    2.   Discussion -
            The  control  yield  of the assay alga, Selenastrum  capri-
        cornutum, indicates  that the potential  primary productivity
        of Bass  Lake was high  at the time  the  sample was collected
        (05/02/73).   The results also  indicate that  Bass Lake was
        phosphorus limited at  that  time.   Note that  with the  addition
        of nitrogen  alone, the yield was not significantly  greater
        than the control  yield; however, with  the  addition  of ortho-
        phosphorus,  a marked increase  in yield occurred.
            The  lake data indicate  phosphorus  limitation in August
        as well  (the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus  ratio
        was 32/1) but marginal nitrogen limitation in October (the
        mean N/P ratio was nearly 13/1).

IV.  NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Indiana National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples from the outlet
 site indicated on the map (page v), except for the high runoff months
 of February and 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 Indiana District Office of the U.S. Geological  Survey for  the
 outlet and minor tributaries and immediate drainage.
     In this report, outlet nutrient loads were determined by using a
 modification of a U.S. Geological Survey computer program for  calculat-
 ing stream loadings*.
     Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries  and immediate
 drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the means of the
 nutrient loads, in kg/km2/year, at stations A-2,  B-l, and C-l  of nearby
 Lake Maxinkuckee** and multiplying the means by the Bass Lake  ZZ area  in
. km2.

D.   Yearly Loads:
        In the following table,  the  existing  phosphorus loadings
    are compared to  those proposed by  Vollenweider  (Vollenweider
    and Dillon, 1974).   Essentially, his  "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 oligotrophic  if  morphometry permitted.  A meso-
    trophic loading  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.

    Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
     (g/m2/yr) based on mean  depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Bass  Lake:
        "Dangerous"   (eutrophic  loading)            0.14
        "Permissible"   (oligotrophic loading)       0.07
