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)], 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.
-------
m
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.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
PauHnsklll Lake is classified as eutrophic on
the basis of Survey data. Survey limnologlsts observed
mats of floating aquatic vegetation, but no visible
algal blooms in the grey-green lake. Potential for
primary productivity as measured by algal assay control
yield and phosphorus levels were high, while Secchi
disc visibility was moderately low. Chlorophyll a_
values ranged from 3.1 ug/1 in the spring to a high
of 21.6 ug/1 in the fall.
Kettelle and Uttormark (1971) reported dense
algal growths and aquatic weeds in Paulinskill Lake.
The lake was drained in 1944, and weed growth was
successfully curtailed.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
Algal assay results indicate that Paulinskill
Lake was limited by available nitrogen. Spikes with
nitrogen or nitrogen and phosphorus simultaneously
resulted in Increased assay yields. Additions of
phosphorus alone did not stimulate a growth response.
-------
2
The mean total inorganic nitrogen to mean orthophos-
phorus ratios (N/P) substantiate these results.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point Sources -
Point sources contributed 47.3% of the total phos-
phorus loading to Paulinskill Lake. The city of New-
ton wastewater treatment plant contributed 45.2% of
the total load. The loading of 18.17 g/m2/yr is 7.3
times higher than the "dangerous" level proposed by
Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974). However,
Vollenweider's model may not be applicable to lakes
with short retention times. Paulinskill Lake is nitro-
gen limited as a result of a super-abundance of avail-
able phosphorus, rather than a nitrogen deficit. Removal
of phosphorus from all known point sources should result
in a persistent state of phosphorus limitation and slow
the rate of eutrophication.
2. Non-point Sources -
The total phosphorus load from non-point sources
accounted for 52.7% of the load reaching Paulinskill
Lake. Major tributaries contributed 50.4%, while minor
tributaries contributed 2.1% of the load.
-------
II. LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
Lake and drainage basin c,haracter1 sties are Itemized
below. Lake surface area and mean 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 the mean flow of the outlet.
Tributary 34198(1) is included In drainage area and dis-
charge figures for Station 3419A(2). Available chemistry
for B(l) was used, however, in calculating loading for the
minor tributaries ("ZZ"), since tributary A(2) was impacted
by point sources upstream of the B(l) sampling site.
Precipitation values are estimated by methods as outlined
in National Eutrophication Survey (NES) Working Paper No. 174,
A table of metric/English conversions is included as Appen-
dix A.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
PauHnskUl 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, samples were
collected from one or more depths at each station for
chlorophyll ^analysis and phytoplankton Identification
and enumeration. During the first visit, 18.9-Hter
depth-integrated samples were composited for algal assays.
Maximum depths sampled were 2.1 meters at Station 1 and
0.9 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 1n III C.

2. Discussion -
The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum
capricornutum, indicates that the potential for primary
productivity was very high in Paulinskill Lake at the
time of sampling. The lake was nitrogen limited at
that time as indicated by the increased yield of the
assay alga in response to an addition of nitrogen.
Spikes with phosphorus and nitrogen simultaneously
resulted in a maximum yield.
The mean total N/P ratios of 13/1 in the spring lake
samples, 12/1 in the summer, and 7/1 in the fall further
suggest nitrogen limitation in Paulinskill 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 v), except for the high runoff month of February
when two samples were collected. Sampling was begun 1n
July 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 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 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" ("II" of USGS) were estimated by using
the mean annual concentrations in Unnamed Stream at
Station B(l) and mean annual 22 flow.
The operators of the Schering Laboratory (Lafayette),
and Newton wastewater treatment plants provided monthly
effluent samples and corresponding flow data. Nutrient
loads for the Big N Shopping Center (Sparta) wastewater
treatment plant were estimated at 1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/
capita/yr.

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.
