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.
-------
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.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

STOREY NO. 3422
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Union Lake 1s considered eutrophlc based upon
field observations and the analysis of Survey data.
The lake 1s characterized by high nutrient concen-
trations, brown humic colored water and summer
algal blooms. Chlorophyll a_ values ranged from a
low of 2.5 yg/1 in the spring to 61.1 ug/1 in the
summer, with a mean of 22.1 yg/1. Algal assay
'results Indicated the potential primary productivity
in Union Lake was moderately high when sampled.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
Algal assay results indicate that Union 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 orthophosphorus
ratio (N/P) further substantiates these results.
-------
C. Nutrient Controllability:
The only known point source impacting Union Lake is the
city of Clayton wastewater treatment plant, which is estimated
to contribute 53.2% of the total phosphorus load to the lake.
Of the nonpoint contributions, measured tributaries accounted
for 43.9% of the total load, and the ungaged drainage areas
were estimated to account for 2.3%. Although it is suspected
that a portion of the sewage treatment plant effluent from
Vineland, released to ground, ultimately will impact Union
Lake, no estimates of loading directly attributable to this
source are available.
Loading calculations based upon available nutrient
concentrations and flow data yield a net export of phosphorus
from Union Lake, suggesting that sampling was not adequate to
depict actual loading and export rates. This export could be
due to undetected discharges reaching the lake from unknown
industrial or municipal sources. Additional sampling and an
evaluation of current land use and lakeshore construction
are required before a nutrient budget for the lake can be
determined.

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 Eutroph1cat1on Survey (NES) Working
Paper No. 175. A table of metric/English conversions 1s
included as Appendix A.
A. Lake Morphometry:
1. Surface area: 3.60 km^.
2. Mean depth: 2.7 meters.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Union Lake was sampled three times during the open-water
season of 1973 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter.
During spring, summer, and fall visits at Station 1 and
spring and summer visits at Station 2, samples for physical
and chemical parameters were collected from the stations on
the lake 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-Hter depth-Integra ted samples were
composited for algal assays. Maximum depths sampled were
4.6 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 1n 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
caprlcornutum. indicates that the potential for primary
productivity in Union Lake was 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 1n a maximum yield. Additions of nitrogen
alone did not produce any response beyond the control
yield. The N/P ratio of 83/1 in the spring lake
data further indicates phosphorus limitation. At all
other sampling times, the N/P ratio was 39/1 or
greater and phosphorus limitation also would be
expected.
-------
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 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 the 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" ("II" of USGS) were estimated by using
the mean annual concentrations in Mill Creek at Station B(l)
and mean annual II flow. Nutrient loads for the city of
Clayton 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.
