                               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.

                   ORADELL  RESERVOIR,  NEW JERSEY
                         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.

                                 2
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.

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

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.
