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.
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
agencu-r, with specific information for basin planning [§303(e)]5 water
quality criteria/standards rov'iev.' [3303(c)]5 clean lakes [§314(a,h)]>
and water quality monitoring [f;106 and §30S(b)~j activities mandated
by the FeJcrcil Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.
-------
Ill
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 v;ater 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.
The staff of the National Eutrophication Survey (Office of
Research's Development, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the Mississippi Air and Water
Pollution Control Commission for professional involvement and
to the Mississippi National Guard for conducting the tributary
sampling phase of the Survey.
Glen Wood, Jr., Director, and John Smith, Deputy Director
of the Air and Water Pollution Control Commission; and John
Harper, Don Scott, John Si groan, and Dwight Hylic of the Water
Division provided invaluable lake documentation and counsel during
the Survey, reviewed the preliminary reports, and provided cri-
tiques most useful in the preparation of this Working Paper series,
Major General E. A. Beby Turnage, the Adjutant General of
Mississippi, and Project Officer Major Thomas D. Nichols, who
directed the volunteer efforts of the Mississippi National
Guardsmen, are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance
to the Survey.

ARKABUTLA RESERVOIR
STORE! NO. 2801
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data show that Arkabutla Reservoir is eutrophic. Of
the five water bodies sampled in Mississippi in 1973, Arkabutla
ranked last using a combination of six parameters as an index
to overall trophic quality*. Arkabutla Reservoir had the highest
median total and dissolved phosphorus, the highest median inorganic
nitrogen, the least mean Secchi disc transparency, but two of the
other water bodies had greater mean chlorophyll a_. Depletion or
near-depletion of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at all
three sampling stations in June, and marked depression occurred
in August.
Survey limnologists noted aquatic macrophytes near stations
2 and 3 in August.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
Because of a significant loss of nitrogen in the sample,
the results of the algal assay are not representative of conditions
in the reservoir at the time the sample was taken (06/13/73).
The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation at all
sampling times.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—The phosphorus load from the known

point sources amounted to 12.2% of the total reaching the reser-
voir during the sampling year.
Even with complete phosphorus removal at the point sources,
the loading would still be double that proposed by Vollenweider
(Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974) as a eutrophic loading (see
page 13). However, since the reservoir is phosphorus limited,
any decrease in the phosphorus loading would be expected to
result in at least some improvement in the trophic condition.
2. Non-point sources—The phosphorus load from non-point
sources amounted to 87.8% of the total reaching the reservoir
during the sampling year. The gaged tributaries contributed 77.3%
of the total and ranged from 49.3% (Coldwater River) to 1.8%
(Short Fork Creek). The minor tributaries and immediate drainage
were estimated to have contributed 9.9% of the total.
The phosphorus export rates of most of the reservoir tribu-
taries (page 12) were somewhat higher than the rates of the tribu-
taries of nearby Sardis Lake* (mean=18 kg/km2/year; range of 5
to 38 kg/km2/year). However, since all known point sources were
accounted for, it is likely that the higher rates of Arkabutla
Reservoir tributaries were the result of differences in land-use
practices in the two drainages.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Arkabutla Reservoir 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
three stations on the reservoir and from a number of depths at each
station (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 11.0 meters at station 1, 11.9 meters at station 2, and
6.4 meters at station 3.
The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and are
summarized in the following table.

C. Limiting Nutrient Study:
A 39% loss of inorganic nitrogen occurred in the assay
sample between the time of collection and the beginning of
the assay, and the results are not indicative of conditions
in the reservoir at the time the sample was collected. How-
ever, the reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation at all
sampling times; i.e., the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophos-
phorus ratios were 14/1 or greater, and phosphorus limitation
would be expected.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix E for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Mississippi 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 October when two samples were collected. Sampling
was begun in August, 1973, and was completed in June, 1974.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by
the Mississippi 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 A-2, C-l, D-l, E-l, F-l,
and G-l and multiplying the means by the ZZ area in km2.
The operators of the Hernando wastewater treatment plants provided
monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data. The communities
of Senatobia and Coldwater did not participate in the Survey, and nutri-
ent loads were estimated at 1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year.

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 2.74 loss* 23.4 loss*
Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
(g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
hydraulic retention time of Arkabutla Reservoir:
"Dangerous" (eutrophic loading) 1.06
"Permissible" (oligotrophic loading) 0.53
* There was an apparent loss of both phosphorus and nitrogen during the
sampling year. This probably was due to non-representative sampling,
especially at the outlet of the reservoir, but may have been due to
unknown and unsampled point sources discharging directly to the lake
or solubilization of previously sedimented nitrogen and phosphorus.
It appears that the outlet samples were of water leaving the reservoir
through an outlet tunnel (Anonymous, 1973); and the water was anaerobic
and rich in resolubilized nitrogen and phosphorus.
