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
flanninq [§303(e)], water quality criteria/standards review
§303(c)j, clean lakes [§314(a,b)j, and water quality monitoring
[§106 and §305(b)] activities mandated by the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.
-------
ill
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

STORE! NO. 3409
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Pined iff Lake is considered eutrophic based
upon field observations and Survey data. Survey
limnologists reported seeing algae blooms and some
emergent aquatic weeds in shallow areas. The water
was a turbid green with a mean Secchi disc reading
of 87.6 cm.
Chlorophyll a_ levels ranged from a low in the
spring of 9.1 pg/1 to a high in the fall of 121.4 ug/1.
Nutrient concentrations and the potential for primary
production as measured by algal assay control yield
were high.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
Algal assay results indicate that Pinecliff
Lake was limited by available nitrogen. .Spikes with
nitrogen or nitrogen and phosphorus simultaneously
resulted 1n increased assay yields. The addition of
phosphorus alone did not stimulate a growth response.
The mean total inorganic nitrogen to mean orthophosphorus
ratio (N/P) further substantiates these results.
-------
2
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point Sources -
The mean annual phosphorus load from point
sources was estimated to be 53.8% of the total
reaching Pined iff Lake. The Crescent Park
wastewater treatment plant contributed 31.3% of
the load. The nutrient loading rate to Pinecliff
Lake of 3.47 g/m2/yr was 8.1 times the "permissible"
loading proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and
Dillon, 1974) and 4.0 times the "dangerous" load.
It should be noted, however, that Vollenweider's
model may not be applicable to lakes with such
short hydraulic retention times. Elimination of
known point source phosphorus input may slow the
present eutrophication rate and should create a
phosphorus limiting condition within the lake,
more amenable to further control.
2. Non-point Sources -
Non-point sources contributed 45.2% of the
phosphorus loading reaching Pinecliff Lake.
Measured tributaries accounted for 43.4% of the
total phosphorus load and the ungaged drainage
areas were estimated to contribute 1.8% of the load.

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 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. Precipitation values were 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
Pinecliff 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 {Station 2 was sampled only twice) and from one
or more 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 2.1 meters at
Station 1 and 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 phyto-
plankton counts and chlorophyll ^determinations are in-
cluded 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 1n Pined iff Lake at the time of
sampling. The lake was nitrogen limited at that time
as indicated by the increased growth of the test alga in
response to the addition of a nitrogen spike. Spikes
with nitrogen and phosphorus simultaneously resulted in
a maximum yield while the addition of phosphorus alone
did not stimulate growth beyond the control yield.
The N/P ratio of 10/1 in the spring lake data
further indicates nitrogen 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 month of February
when two samples were collected. Sampling was begun in
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" ("21" of USGS) were estimated by using
the mean annual concentrations in Unnamed Creek at Station B{1)
and mean annual ZZ flow.
The operators of the Crescent Park, Olde Milford Plant,
Mil ford Manor Nursing Home, and Reflection Lakes wastewater
treatment plants provided monthly effluent samples and
corresponding flow data.

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.
