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.
-------
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 Lake Tippecanoe is mesotrophic.
It ranked fourth in overall trophic quality when the 27 Indiana
lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six
parameters*. Four of the lakes had less and one had the same
median total dissolved phosphorus, four had less and three had
the same median dissolved phosphorus, three had less median inor-
ganic nitrogen, six had less mean chlorophyll a^ and two had
greater mean Secchi disc transparency. Hypolimnetic dissolved
oxygen was depleted at station 2 in October.
Survey limnologists reported submerged macrt>phytes were
common in the shallows near station 1 but were sparse near sta-
tion 2.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results indicate the lake was phosphorus
limited at the time the sample was taken (05/03/73). The lake
data indicate phosphorus limitation at all sampling times.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—No known municipal or industrial point
sources directly impacted Lake Tippecanoe during the sampling
year. However, municipal waste treatment facilities are planned

for the Town of North Webster (BonHomme, 1976) with an effluent
discharge to the Tippecanoe River upstream from James Lake* (see
map, page v). The treatment plant will contribute some nutrients
to Lake Tippecanoe via the river and the James Lake outlet, and it
will be necessary to evaluate the possible significance of this new
phosphorus source once the plant is put in operation.
The present phosphorus loading of 1.10 g/m2/yr is a little
more than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 11). Apparently, much of
the phosphorus input is utilized by macrophytes so that other
symptoms of eutrophy are minimal.
2. Non-point sources—Both the Tippecanoe River and Grassy
Creek drain relatively large lakes which have well-developed shore-
t
lines. The percentages of total phosphorus contribution of the
streams are similar (44.9% and 48.3%) as are the non-point phos-
phorus export rates (11 and 12 kg/km2/yr; see page 10).

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Lake Tippecanoe 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 two 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 for chlorophyll a^ analysis.
The maximum depths sampled were 9.8 meters at station 1 and 9.1
meters at station 2.
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 Tippecanoe was moderate at the time the assay sample
was collected. The significant increase in yield when ortho-
phosphorus was added and the lack of increase when nitrogen
alone was added indicate phosphorus limitation.
The lake data also indicate phosphorus limitation; i.e.,
the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 16/1
or greater at all sampling times, and phosphorus limitation
would be expected.

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 esti-
mated using the nutrient loads at station C-l, in kg/km2/year, and multi-
plying by the ZZ area in km2.
Nutrient loads at station A-2 were based on the flow and nutrient
concentrations at outlet station A-l of James Lake** which is the same
location as inlet station A-2 of Lake Tippecanoe.
Note that estimates of septic tank phosphorus loads were reduced
by 50% to adjust for the Indiana ban on phosphate detergents instituted
in January, 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/mVyr - 1.10 0.32 68.3 13.2
Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
