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 fresh water lakes and
reservoirs,
OBJECTIVES
The Survey was designed to develop, in conjunction with state
environmental agencies, information on nutrient sources, concentrations,
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 non-point
source pollution abatement in lake watersheds.
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 water-
shed 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.
-------
111
Beyond the single lake analysis, broader based correlations
between nutrient concentrations (and loading) and trophic condi-
tion are being made to advance the rationale and data base for
refinement of nutrient water quality criteria for the Nation's
fresh water 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 EPA
and to augment plans implementation by the states.

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Buckeye Lake 1s eutrophic. It
ranked seventeenth in overall trophic quality when the 20 Ohio
lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six
parameters*. Seventeen lakes had less median total phosphorus,
14 had less median dissolved phosphorus, four had less and one
had the same median inorganic nitrogen, 19 had less mean chloro-
phyll a_, and 18 had greater mean Seechi disc transparency.
Survey limnologists noted floating and emergent vegetation
along much of the shoreline. High numbers of the blue-green
algae (see page 7) further indicate the over-enriched condition
of this water body.
Almost continuous dredging of the lake is required to
maintain satisfactory depths (Ketelle and Uttormark, 1971).
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results are not considered indicative of
conditions in the lake at the time the sample was collected
(04/26/73). The lake data show nitrogen limitation in April
at stations 2 and 3 and phosphorus limitation at station 1;
, phosphorus limitation in July at all stations; and phosphorus
limitation in October at stations 1 and 2 and nitrogen limitation
at station 3.
* See Appendix A.

C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point Sources—During the sampling year, the phosphorus
contribution of the listed point sources amounted to about 28%
of the total phosphorus load to Buckeye Lake. The major portion
of this load came from the wastewater treatment plants at Millers-
port (13.5%) and Thornville (10.8%).
The present loading of 0.51 g/m2/year is 1.5 times that pro-
posed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974) as a eutro-
phic loading (see page 13). Because the lake is phosphorus limited
much of the time, all phosphorus inputs should be minimized to
the greatest practicable extent. An 85% reduction in the phos-
phorus loads from the listed point sources would lower the loading
to 0.40 g/m2/year and should at least slow the present rate of
eutrophication. Further water quality improvement would be expected
if a significant portion of the phosphorus export in Reservoir
Feeder is controllable (see discussion below).
2. Non-point sources—Over 72% of the total phosphorus input
to Buckeye Lake during the sampling year is attributed to non-point
sources. Ungaged tributaries contributed an estimated 7.2%, Honey
Creek contributed 8.3%, and the Reservoir Feeder contributed 53.2%
of the total phosphorus load.
The phosphorus export rate of Reservoir Feeder, 79 kg/km2/year,
is very high as compared to the rate of Honey Creek, 31 kg/km2/year,
and the rates of tributaries of nearby Dillon Reservoir*; e.g., Big
* Working Paper No. 400.
-------

Run, 10 kg/km2/yr; Rocky Fork, 7 kg/km2/yr; and Bowling Green
Run, 15 kg/km2/yr. The high export rate may be due to unknown
and unsampled point sources (e.g., Kirkersville) or to land-use
practices in that drainage. Additional investigation is needed
to determine the controllability of nutrient sources in the
Reservoir Feeder drainage.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Buckeye 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 three
stations on the lake and from a number of depths at each station (see
map, page v). During each visit, a single depth-integrated (near bottom
to surface) sample was composited from the stations for phytoplankton
identification and enumeration; and during the first visit, a single
18.9-liter depth-integrated sample was composited for algal assays.
Also each time, a depth-integrated sample was collected from each of the
stations for chlorophyll a_ analysis. The maximum depths sampled were
1.8 meters at station 1, 3.4 meters at station 2, and 1.5 meters at
station 3.
The lake sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and

C. Limiting Nutrient Study:
The algal assay results are not considered indicative of
conditions 1n the lake at the time of sampling (04/26/73) because
of significant changes in nutrient concentrations between the
field and the laboratory. The lake data indicate a combination
of limiting nutrients. Following is a tabulation of the mean
inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios for each of the stations
and sampling times with the indicated limiting nutrient in paren-
thesis.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
{See Appendix E for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Ohio 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 May, 1973, and was completed in April, 1974.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by
the Ohio District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey for the tribu-
tary sites nearest the lake.
In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were deter-
mined by using a modification of a U.S. Geological Survey computer
program for calculating stream loadings*. Nutrient loads shown are
those measured minus point-source loads, if any.
Assuming that phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations were similar
to those in the lake outlet stream, nutrient loads In the water directed
to the Hebron National Fish Hatchery were estimated using the mean nitrogen
and phosphorus concentrations at station D-l and the amount of water
diverted annually as reported by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
(Mehlhop, 1975).
Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the means of the nutrient
loads, in kg/km2/year, at stations B-l, C-l, E-l, and F-l of nearby Dillon
Reservoir and multiplying the means by the ZZ area in km2.
* See Working Paper No. 175.

The operator of the Thornville wastewater treatment plant provided
monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data. The community of
Millersport did not participate and nutrient loads were estimated at
1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year.
Also, the effluent of the Crown Wehrle Estates wastewater treatment
plant is discharged to an abandoned gravel pit near Thornport (see map,
page v). It is not known whether ground water in that area moves toward
the lake; if it does, the treatment plant could be another source of
nutrients.

E. Yearly Loading Rates:
In the following table, the existing phosphorus loadings
are compared to those proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider
and Dillon, 1975). 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 mesotrophic 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.
