                          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)>, 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.

-------
                                 iii
    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 Marsh Lake is  eutrophic.   It
        ranked 21st in overall  trophic quality when  the  27  Indiana
        lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a  combination  of
        six parameters*.  Twenty-two of  the lakes had less  median
        total phosphorus, 25 had less median dissolved phosphorus,
        seven had less median inorganic  nitrogen, 22 had less mean
        chlorophyll £, and 17 had greater mean Secchi  disc  trans-
        parency.  Dissolved oxygen was depleted in the hypolimnion
        in August and October.
            Survey limnologists reported emergent macrophytes in the
        shoreline shallows  around the lake and the island.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            Because of a significant loss of nutrients in the sample
        before the algal assay was begun, the results  are not represen-
        tative of conditions in the lake at the time the sample  was
        taken (05/03/73).
            The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation at all sampling
        times.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—During the sampling year,  Marsh Lake
* See Appendix A.

                             2
received a total phosphorus loading more than four times that
proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974) as
a eutrophic loading (see page 12).  The Village of Fremont con-
tributed 80% of that load.
    It is calculated that removal  of 97% of the phosphorus at
the Fremont wastewater treatment plant would reduce the phos-
phorus loading to just equal the eutrophic loading.  Short of
effluent diversion, it is questionable whether removal  at that
level can be accomplished on a continuing basis.  However, a
high degree of phosphorus removal  at the point source is likely
to result in persistent phosphorus limitation in Marsh  Lake
and should at least reduce the incidence and severity of nuisance
algal blooms.
    2.  Non-point sources--The non-point source phosphorus load
was estimated to be 20% of the total.  The gaged tributaries  were
estimated to have contributed 13.6% of the total, and the ungaged
tributaries were estimated to have contributed 6.1%.
    The phosphorus export rate of Unnamed Creek C-l (7  kg/km2/yr)
was quite low as compared to Indiana streams sampled elsewhere
(see page 11).

III.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Marsh 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  a
  number of depths at a single station on the lake  (see map, page v).
  During each visit, a single depth-integrated (4.6  m to  surface) sample
      »
  was collected for phytoplankton identification and enumeration, and
  a similar sample was taken for chlorophyll

C.  Limiting Nutrient Study:
        There was a 62% loss  of orthophosphorus  in  the  assay  sample
    from the time of collection to the beginning of the assay, and
    the results are not representative of conditions in the lake at
    the time the sample was  taken (05/03/73).
        The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation;  i.e.,  the mean
    inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios  were  11/1  or less at
    all sampling times, and  nitrogen  limitation  would be expected.
        Nitrogen limitation,  as indicated by in-lake nitrogen to
    phosphorus ratios, does  not necessarily mean that the  trophic con-
    dition of the lake can be improved by controlling nitrogen inputs.
    In many cases, the apparent condition of nitrogen-limitation
    results from excessive phosphorus input from point  sources and is
    often accompanied by a corresponding increase in primary  produc-
    tion.  In such cases, the reversal  of the  enriched  condition
    depends upon phosphorus control,  not nitrogen control.

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 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
 tributary sites nearest the  lake.
     Except for phosphorus in Unnamed Creek B-l,  nutrient loads for
 sampled tributaries were determined by using  a modification of a
 U.S. Geological Survey computer program for calculating stream
 loadings*.  The phosphorus load measured  in Unnamed Creek B-l was
 less than the Fremont wastewater treatment plant load, and the back-
 ground phosphorus load of this stream was estimated in the same way
 as  the "ZZ" load (see below).   However, note  that  the nitrogen load
 given for this stream is that  measured at B-l minus the Fremont load.
     Nutrient loads for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
 drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using  the nutrient loads,
 in  kg/km2/year, at station C-l  and multiplying by  the ZZ area in km2.

    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   Accumulated    Total    Accumulated

        Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
         (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
         hydraulic retention time of Marsh Lake:

            "Dangerous"  (eutrophic loading)                 1.34
            "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)            0.67
* There was an apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year.   This
  may have been due to nitrogen fixation in the lake, solubilization of
  previously sedimented nitrogen, recharge with nitrogen-rich ground water,
  unknown and unsampled point sources discharging directly to the lake, or
  insufficient outlet sampling in relation to the relatively short  hydraulic
  retention time of the lake.  Whatever the cause, a similar nitrogen loss
  has occurred at Shagawa Lake, Minnesota, which has been intensively
  studied by EPA's former National Eutrophication and Lake Restoration
  Branch (Malueg et al., 1975).
