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, II. 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

LAKE WAWASEE
STORE! NO. 1836
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Lake Wawasee is mesotrophic. Of
the 27 Indiana lakes sampled in 1973, it ranked first in overall
trophic quality when compared using a combination of six parameters*.
One of the lakes had less and one had the same median total phos-
phorus, none had less but two had the same median dissolved phos-
phorus, four had less median inorganic nitrogen, three had less
mean chlorophyll a^, and only one had greater mean Secchi disc
transparency. Near-depletion of dissolved oxygen occurred in the
hypolimnion at both sampling stations in August.
Survey limnologists noted submerged and emergent macrophytes in
the shallows and along some of the shoreline near station 1 in
October.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results indicate that Lake Wawasee was phos-
phorus 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—The point-source phosphorus contribution
amounted to an estimated 19% of the total input to Lake Wawasee
* See Appendix A.
-------
2
during the sampling year. The wastewater treatment facility of
the Methodist Church at Oakwood Park contributed an estimated
9.1%, and lakeshore septic tanks were estimated to have contribu-
ted 9.9%.
The present phosphorus loading rate of 0.11 g/m2/yr is less
than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974)
as an oligotrophic loading (see page 12). Any phosphorus removal
program initiated essentially would be for the purpose of main-
taining the present quality of the lake.
The relatively long mean hydraulic retention time of 3.5 years
should be considered as further shoreline development occurs. If
a wastewater treatment plant is established to serve lakeshore
residences, treatment should include phosphorus removal. This has
been recommended in another report on this lake (Gifford et al.,
1971).
2. Non-point sources~Non-point sources accounted for 81% of
the total phosphorus load to the lake. Turkey Creek contributed
32.9%, Dillon Creek contributed 5.1%, and Papakeechie Lake outlet
contributed 9.1% of the load. Ungaged tributaries were estimated
to have contributed 18.2% of the load.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Lake Wawasee 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 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 ^analysis. The maximum depths sampled were 14.3 meters
at station 1 and 11.3 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 Wawasee was low at the time the sample was collected
(05/03/73). Also, a significant increase in yield when phos-
phorus alone was added indicates that this body of water was
limited by phosphorus at that time. Note that the addition
of nitrogen alone resulted in a yield no different than that
of the control.
The lake data also indicate phosphorus limitation; i.e.,
the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 33/1
or greater at all sampling stations and times.

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.
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 nutrient loads
at station C-l, in kg/km2/year, and multiplying by the ZZ area in km2.
The operator of the Oakwood Park United Methodist Church waste-
water treatment plant provided monthly effluent samples but did not
provide flow data. Therefore, nutrient loads were estimated at 0.567
kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year; and flows were estimated at 0.3785
m3/capita/day.
* See Working Paper No. 175.

All estimated phosphorus loads were reduced by 50% to adjust for a
phosphate detergent ban which has been in effect in Indiana since Jan-
uary, 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 1s
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 0.11 0.07 8.7 5.4
Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
(g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
hydraulic retention time of Lake Wawasee:
