                               FOREWORD
     The National Eutrophicatiori Survey was initiated in 1972 in
response to an Administration commitment to investigate the nation-
wide threat of accelerated eutrophication to freshwater lakes and
reservoirs.

OBJECTIVES

     The Survey was designed to develop, in conjunction with state
environmental agencies, information on nutrient sources, concen-
trations, 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 nonpoint source pollution abatement in lake water-
sheds.

ANALYTIC APPROACH             .

     The mathematical and statistical procedures selected for. the
Survey's eutrophication analysis are based oh 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
watershed 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
 Elanninq [§303(e)], water quality criteria/standards review
 §303{c}], clean lakes [§314(a,bj], 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 condition
are being made to advance the rationale and data base for refine-
ment of nutrient water quality criteria for the Nation's freshwater
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 the U.S. Environmental  Protection
Agency and to augment plans implementation by the states.

I.    CONCLUSIONS
     A.    Trophic Condition:
               Duhernal  Lake  is classified  as  eutrophic  based  upon
          Survey data.   The turbid,  green lake is  characterized  by
          low Secchi  disc  transparency, moderately high  nutrient
          levels and  extensive  growths  of emerged  and  submerged
          vegetation.   Potential  for primary productivity  as
          measured by algal assay control yield was low.   Chloro-
          phyll  a_ values ranged from a  low  of  1.5  yg/1 in  the
          spring to a high of 10.3  pg/1 in  the fall.
               Past studies (Ketelle and Uttormark, 1971)  recom-
          mended complete  dredging  as possible weed control
          treatment in  Duhernal  Lake.
     B.    Rate-Limiting  Nutrient:
               Algal  assay results  indicate that Duhernal  Lake
          was limited by available  phosphorus  levels.  Spikes
          with phosphorus,  and  nitrogen and phosphorus simul-
          taneously resulted  in increases in assay yield.  Additions
          of  nitrogen alone did not  stimulate  a growth response.
          The mean total  inorganic  nitrogen to mean orthophosphorus
          ratio  (N/P)  in sampled  waters substantiates  phosphorus
          limitation.

-------
                                 2
C.  Nutrient Controllability:
    1.   Point Sources -
            During the sampling year, the mean annual  phosphorus
        load from point sources was estimated to be 85.6% of the
        total load reaching Duhernal Lake.  The Pine Brook sewage
        treatment plant contributed 42.5%, the Jamesburg plant
        contributed 22.7%, and the Central Jersey Sewer Company
        contributed 18.2%.  The present loading of 60.18 g P/m2/yr
        is about 19 times that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollen-
        weider and Dillon, 1974) as "dangerous" (eutrophic).  How-
        ever, Vollenweider's model may not apply to lakes with  such
        short retention times.
            While it is unlikely that practicable control of point
        and nonpoint nutrient sources would of itself eliminate the
        existing macrophyte problem in this shallow lake, other
        parameters of water quality would be expected to improve.
    2.   Nonpoint Sources -
            The mean annual phosphorus load from nonpoint sources
        was 14.4% of the total load reaching Duhernal  Lake.  Measured
        tributaries accounted for 14.0% of the total, and ungaged
        tributaries accounted for 0.3%.

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
          Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized
     below.   Lake surface area, mean depth and maximum depth
     were provided by the State of New Jersey.   Tributary flow
     data were provided by the New Jersey District Office of
     the U.S.  Geological  Survey (USGS) (outlet drainage area
     includes the lake surface area).   Mean hydraulic retention
     time was obtained by dividing the lake volume by mean flow
     of the  outlet.   Precipitation values are estimated by
     methods as outlined in National Eutrophication Survey (NES)
     Working Paper No. 175.   A table of metric/English conversions
     is included as  Appendix A.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Duhernal  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 one station on
     the lake  and from one or more depths at that station
     (see map, page v).  During each visit, a depth-integrated
     sample was collected at the station for chlorophyll a^
     analysis  and phytoplankton identification and enumeration.
     During the first visit, an 18.9-liter depth^integrated
     sample was composited for algal assays.  Maximum depth
     sampled was 1.5 meters at Station 1.  For a more detailed
     explanation of NES methods, see NES Working Paper  No.  175.
          The  results obtained are presented in full  in Appendix C
     and are summarized in III A for waters at the surface  and
     at the maximum depth for the site.   Results of the phyto-
     plankton  counts and chlorophyll a^ determinations are included
     in III B.  Results of the limiting  nutrient study  are
     presented in III C.

     2.   Discussion -
               The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum
          capricornutum, indicates that potential  for primary
          production in Duhernal Lake was low at the time of
          sampling.  Increased yield with the addition of phos-
          phorus as well as the lack of increase when only nitro-
          gen was added indicates phosphorus limitation.   Maximum
          growth potential was achieved with the simultaneous
          addition of both phosphorus and nitrogen.
               The N/P ratios were about 235/1 in the spring
          field sample, 55/1 in the summer, and 153/1 in  the
          fall, further suggesting phosphorus limitation  in
          Duhernal Lake.

-------
IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix D for data)
          For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  New
     Jersey National  Guard collected monthly near-surface  grab
     samples from each of the tributary sites indicated  on the
     map (page vi),  except for  the high runoff month of  February
     when two samples were collected.   Sampling was begun  in
     July 1973, and was completed in February 1974.
          Through an interagency agreement, stream flow  estimates
     for the year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year
     were provided by the New Jersey District Office of  the USGS
     for the tributary sites  nearest the lake.
          In this report, nutrient loads for Iresick Brook,
     Station B(l), were determined by using a modification of
     a USGS computer program  for calculating stream loadings.
     Nutrient loads indicated for tributaries are those  measured
     minus known point source loads, if any.
          Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries
     and immediate drainage"  ("ZZ" of USGS) and for Unnamed
     Stream, Matchaponix Brook, and Manalapan Brook at Stations
     C(l), D{1), and E(l), respectively, were estimated  by using
     the mean annual  concentrations in Iresick Brook at  Station B(l)
     and the mean appropriate annual flow.

     The operators of the Central Jersey Sewer Company, Pine Brook,

New Jersey Training School for Boys, and Helme Products (Helmetta)

wastewater treatment plants provided monthly effluent samples and

corresponding data.  Nutrient loads for the city of Jamesburg waste-

water treatment plant were estimated at 1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/

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 Yearly
                        Phosphorus Loading
                            (g/m2/yr)
    Estimated loading for Duhernal Lake                       60.18
    Vollenweider's "dangerous" or eutrophic loading           3.18
    Vollenweider's "permissible" or oligotrophic  loading       1.59
