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(c)>, water
quality criteria/standards review {§303(c)>, dean 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.

LAKE JAMES
STORET NO. 1853
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Lake James is mesotrophic. Of
the 27 Indiana lakes sampled in 1973, it ranked third in over-
all trophic quality when compared using a combination of six
parameters*. Three lakes had less median total phosphorus,
four had less and three had the same median dissolved phos-
phorus, two had less median inorganic nitrogen, one had less
mean chlorophyll a^ and none of the others had greater mean
Secchi disc transparency.
Survey limnologists noted moderate algal blooms in August,
and submerged and emergent macrophytes were observed in shallows
along the shorelines. Hypolimnetic depletion of dissolved
oxygen occurred at all three sampling stations in August and
October.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results indicate that Lake James was limited
by phosphorus at the time the sample was collected (05/02/73).
The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation in October as well
but probable nitrogen limitation in August.
See Appendix A.

C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—No known municipal or industrial point
sources impacted Lake James during the sampling year. Septic
tanks serving lakeshore residences contributed an estimated 6.1%
of the total input to the lake, but a shoreline survey would
be needed to determine the significance of these sources.
The present phosphorus loading of 0.34 g/m2/yr is less than
that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974)
as a eutrophic loading (see page 11). Future developments
should be carefully evaluated in regard to phosphorus contribu-
tions to the lake. If the existing loading is not increased,
the trophic condition of the lake should persist.
2. Non-point sources—Non-point sources accounted for 94.0%
of the annual total phosphorus input to the lake. Unnamed Creek
D-l contributed 76.0%, and the remaining two tributaries collec-
tively contributed 6.7%. Ungaged tributaries were estimated to
have contributed 6.0% of the total.
The phosphorus export rates of the Lake James tributaries
were relatively low during the sampling year (see page 10).

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Lake James 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 a num-
ber of depths at three stations on the lake (see map, page v). During
each visit, a single depth-integrated (4.6 m 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
t
for chlorophyll a_ analysis. The maximum depths sampled were 16.8
meters at station 1, 19.8 meters at station 2, and 24.7 meters at sta-
tion 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 Lake James was low at the time the sample was collected
(05/02/73). The results also show the lake was phosphorus
limited at that time. Note the significant increase in yield
when the level of orthophosphorus was increased but the lack
of change in yield when only nitrogen was added.
The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation in October
as well (the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratio
was 14/1) but probable nitrogen limitation in August (the
mean N/P ratio was 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 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 Indiana 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 computer
program for calculating stream loadings*.
Nutrient loads 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 B-l, C-l, and D-l and
multiplying the means by the ZZ area in km2.
The estimated phosphorus load from septic tanks was reduced by
50% to adjust for a ban on phosphate detergents which has been in
effect in Indiana since 1972.

E. 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.
Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen
Total Accumulated Total Accumulated
grams/m2/yr 0.34 0.20 13.4 6.1
Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
(g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
hydraulic retention time of Lake James:
"Dangerous" (eutrophic loading) 0.56
"Permissible" (oligotrophic loading) 0.28
