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 [5303(eJ], 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 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.

STORET NO. 3406
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Based upon field observations and Survey data,
Oradell Reservoir is considered eutrophic. The lake
is characterized by high nutrient concentrations,
summer depression of dissolved oxygen at Station 2,
and spring and autumn algal blooms. The mean Secchi
disc reading in this turbid, brownish-green lake was
95 cm, and chlorophyll a_ levels were high, ranging
from 11.7 pg/1 in the summer to 33.0 ug/1 in the spring.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
Algal assay results indicate that Oradell Reservoir
is limited by available phosphorus. Spikes with phos-
phorus, 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 orthophosphorus ratio
(N/P) further substantiates these results.
-------

C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point Sources -
There are no known point sources impacting Grade!!
Reservoir. The phosphorus loading for Oradell Reser-
voir of 5,08 g/m2/yr is 3.2 times above the "dangerous"
loading proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974).
2. Non-point Sources -
Non-point sources contributed all the loading reaching
Oradell Reservoir. Measured tributaries contributed 88.9%
of the total phosphorus load while minor tributaries con-
tributed 10.8% of the total load.
Determination of surrounding land uses and unknown
sources contributing loading is necessary before recommen-
dations for lake improvement can be proposed.
-------
II. LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized
below. Lake morphometry data were provided by D. L. Hoven,
Hackensack Water Company; 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.
The mean flow of the outlet includes the flow diverted from
Oradell Reservoir for a municipal water supply. The sum of
the tributary flows do not equal the outlet flow probably
because .of either sampling error, unmeasured groundwater
influence or unknown inputs reaching the lake. 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.
A. Lake Morphometry:
1. Surface area: 2.64 krn^.
,2. Mean depth: 4.1 meters.
3. Maximum depth: 7.6 meters.
4. Volume: 10.789 x 106 m3.
5. Mean hydraulic retention time: 23 days.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Oradell 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 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 4.6 meters at Station 1 and 4.0 meters at Station 2.
For a more detailed explanation of National Eutrophication
Survey 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 ^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 was high in Oradell Reservoir 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 in the spring lake data was 140/1, indi-
cating phosphorus limitation at that time. The N/P
ratios for summer and fall were greater than 69/1, also
suggesting phosphorus limitation in Oradell Reservoir.
-------
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 July 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 sampled tributaries
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. The total outlet load was
calculated by multiplying the total outlet flow (mean flow
of tributary A{1) plus mean flow of the diversion canal)
times the concentration measured at Station A(l). This
assumes that the nutrient concentration at A(l) is the
same as that flowing out of the aqueduct.
-------
10
Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries and
immediate drainage" ("ZZ" of USGS) were estimated by using
the mean annual concentrations in Unnamed Stream at Station C(l),
Dwars Kill at Station D(l) and Dorotockey's Run at Station F(l)
and mean annual ZZ flow.

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.
