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)>, 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.
-------
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.

STORET NO. 1839
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Whitewater Lake is eutrophic. Of
the 27 Indiana lakes sampled in 1973, it ranked twenty-fourth in
overall trophic quality when compared using a combination of six
parameters*. Twenty of the lakes had less and one had the same
median total phosphorus, 14 had less and one had the same median
dissolved phosphorus, 21 had less mean chlorophyll a_, and 20 had
greater mean Secchi disc transparency. Hypolimnetic depletion of
dissolved oxygen occurred at station 1 in August and October.
Survey limnologists noted aquatic macrophytes near station 1
in October.
A September, 1975 study by the Indiana Division of Water Pol-
lution Control indicates the trophic condition of Whitewater Lake
may have improved since Survey sampling was completed; additional
sampling will be done in the summer of 1976 to verify the apparent
improvement (BonHomme, 1976).
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results are not representative of lake condi-
tions at the time of sampling because of nutrient losses in the
sample during shipment from the field to the laboratory. However,
the lake data indicate that Whitewater Lake was phosphorus limited
at all sampling times.
* See Appendix A.

C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—Point source phosphorus contributions
amounted to 23.7% of the total load reaching Whitewater Lake
during the sampling year. The Liberty wastewater treatment
plant contributed 23.5% of the total.
The present phosphorus loading of 3.28 g/m2/yr is four times
that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974) as
a eutrophic loading (see page 11). Whitewater Lake is phosphorus
limited, and point-source phosphorus loads should be minimized to
the greatest practicable extent. Complete removal of phosphorus
at the Liberty wastewater treatment plant would reduce the loading
rate to 2.5 g/m2/yr and should at least slow the eutrophication
occurring in the lake.
2. Non-point sources—The phosphorus contribution of non-point
sources accounted for 76.3% of the total load to the lake. Silver
Creek contributed 70.4%, and the ungaged tributaries were estimated
to have contributed 5.3%.
The phosphorus export rate of Silver Creek was high (45 kg/km2/
yr) as compared to the rates of two of the tributaries of Versailles
Lake*; i.e., Falling Timber Creek (9 kg/km2/yr) and Cedar Creek
(25 kg/km2/yr). This probably was due to the proximity of the
stream sampling station to the Liberty treatment plant outfall (see
map, page v). Note that phosphorus concentrations in the stream
varied directly with concentrations in the plant effluent (Appen-
dix E).

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Whitewater 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 two stations on the lake (see map, page v). During
each visit, a single depth-integrated (4.6 m or near bottom 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 9.4
meters at station 1 and 2.4 meters at station 2.
The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and are
summarized in the following table.

C. Limiting Nutrient Study:
The algal assay results are not considered indicative of
conditions in the lake at the time the sample was taken because
of a 45% loss of orthophosphorus in the sample during shipment
from the field to the laboratory. However, the lake data indi-
cate that Whitewater Lake was limited by phosphorus; i.e., the
mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 40/1 or greater
at all sampling times.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix E for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadingss 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 March and April 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 shown are
those measured minus point-source loads, if any.
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 of
nearby Versailles Lake and multiplying the means by the ZZ area
in km2.
The operator of the Liberty wastewater treatment plant provided
monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data.
The estimated phosphorus load from septic tanks was reduced by

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.
