                               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 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 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
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
planning [§303(e)]s water quality criteria/standards review
[§303(cJ], 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 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:
               Based upon Survey data and field  observations,
          Farrington Lake is  considered eutrophic.   This  humic
          lake was characterized by abundant  aquatic macrophytes,
          low Secchi disc transparency, and  high nutrient concen-
          trations.   Chlorophyll a_ values ranged from a  low of
          1.5 pg/1  in the spring to a high of 16.9  yg/1  in the
          summer.
     B.    Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
               Algal assay results indicate  that Farrington Lake
          is limited by available phosphorus.  Spikes with
          phosphorus, or phosphorus and nitrogen simultaneously
          resulted in increased assay yields.  The  addition of
          nitrogen alone did  not produce  a growth response. The
          mean total inorganic nitrogen to mean  orthophosphorus
          ratio (N/P) further substantiates  these results.

-------
C.   Nutrient Controllability:
     1.    Point Sources -
               The only known point sources contributing to
          Farrington Lake are septic tanks.  They contribute
          less than 0.1% of the total  phosphorus load.
               The calculations of loading based upon available
          nutrient concentrations and flow data indicate a net
          export of phosphorus and nitrogen, suggesting that
          the tributary sampling was inadequate to depict
          actual loading and export rates.  Additional  sampling
          and an evaluation of current land use and lakeshore
          construction are required before an accurate  nutrient
          budget for the lake can be determined.
     2.    Nonpoint Sources -
               Essentially all  of the phosphorus loading to
          Farrington Lake was contributed by nonpoint sources.
          The major tributaries contributed 67.5% of the loading,
          while the minor tributaries and the ungaged areas con-
          tributed 31.0% of the loading.

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE  BASIN  CHARACTERISTICS
          Lake and  drainage basin  characteristics are  itemized
     below.   The lake surface area and  mean depth were provided
     by the  State of New Jersy.  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  the mean  flow of
     the outlet. Precipitation  values  were estimated  by methods
                        *

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Farrington 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 two stations on
     the lake and from a number of depths at each station
     (see map, page v).   During each visit, depth-integrated
    .samples were collected from each station for chlorophyll a^
     analysis  and phytoplankton identification and enumeration.
     During the first  visit,  18.9-liter depth-integrated samples
     were composited for algal assays.   Maximum depths  sampled
     were 5.5  meters at Station 1  and  3.0 meters at Station 2.
     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 each site.   Results of the phytoplankton
     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 the potential for primary
          productivity in Farrington Lake was moderately high at
          the time of sampling.  The lake was phosphorus limited
          at that time as indicated by the increased yield of the
          test alga in response to an addition of orthophosphorus.
          Spikes with phosphorus and nitrogen simultaneously
          resulted in a maximum yield.  Spikes with nitrogen alone
          did not produce any response beyond the control yield.
               The N/P ratio of 90/1 during spring sampling further
          indicates phosphorus limitation.

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 v), except for the high runoff months  of  February
     and March when two samples were collected.   Sampling was
     begun in July  1973, and was completed in April   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  USGS for
     the tributary sites nearest the lake.
          In this report, nutrient loads for sampled  tributaries
     were determined by using a modification of  the 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) were  estimated by
     using the mean annual  concentrations in Beaverdam Brook
     at Station B(l)  and mean annual  ZZ flow.

D.  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
                            (q/m2/yr)
    Estimated loading for Farrington Lake                    1.14
    Vollenweider's "dangerous" or eutrophic loading           0.98
    Vollenweider's "permissible"  or oligotrophic loading      0.49
