                         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.

-------
    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 Delaware Reservoir is  eutrophic
        It ranked 12th in overall trophic quality when the 20 Ohio  lakes
        sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six  param-
        eters*.  Eight lakes had less median total phosphorus,  15 had
        less median dissolved phosphorus, 16 had less median inorganic
        nitrogen, 13 had greater mean Secchi disc transparency, but only
        two had less mean chlorophyll a^.   Marked depression  of dissolved
        oxygen with depth occurred at station 1  in August and October.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate that the reservoir was
        limited by phosphorus at the time the sample was taken  (04/26/73).
        The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation at the  other sampling
        times as we!1.
    C.  Nutrient controllability:
            1.  Point sources—During the sampling year, the phosphorus
        contribution from point sources,  other than septic tanks, amounted
        to 21.1% of the total load to Delaware Reservoir.  The  Galion
        wastewater treatment plant was the most significant  point source
        and accounted for 15.6% of the total phosphorus load.  The  remaining
* See Appendix A.

-------
                             2
point sources contributed just over 5%.
    The present phosphorus loading of 12.49 g/m2/yr is  over
nine times that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider  and
Dillon, 1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 12).  However,
the mean hydraulic retention time of Delaware Reservoir is  a
rather short 23 days (at normal pool level),  and Vollenweider's
model may not apply.
    While even complete removal of phosphorus at the known  point
sources would only reduce the loading to 9.85 g/m2/yr,  in view of
the questionable applicability of Vollenweider's model, it  is
likely that a high degree of phosphorus  removal  would at least
reduce the incidence and severity of nuisance algal blooms  in
the reservoir if other sources of phosphorus  also can be controlled
(see below).
    2.  Non-point sources—During the sampling year, the phosphorus
export rates of Grave and QuQua creeks were markedly higher than
the export rates of the other streams in the  reservoir  drainage
(see page 12).  Because of the proximity of these two streams to
the City of Marion, it is likely urban drainage caused  the  higher
export rates.
    In all, non-point sources, excluding precipitation, are esti-
mated to have contributed 78.6% of the total  phosphorus load to the
reservoir during the sampling year.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Delaware 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 three stations on the lake and from one  or more depths at each
  station (see map, page v).  During each  visit,  a  single depth-integrated
  (4.6 m or 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 8.2 meters at station 1 and 2.1 meters at station 2;
  only near-surface samples were taken at  station 3.
      The sampling results are presented in full  in Appendix D and are
  summarized in the following table.

        The  control yield  of the assay alga,  Selenastrum  capri-
    cornutum, indicates that the potential  primary  productivity
    of Delaware Reservoir  was moderate at the time  the  sample
    was collected (04/26/73).  The  yield increased  substantially
    with the addition of phosphorus alone but not with  the addition
    of nitrogen  alone.   This indicates phosphorus was the limiting
    nutrient.
        The  lake data indicate phosphorus limitation at all sampling
    times; the mean ratios of inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus
    were 77/1, 88/1, and 50/1 in April, August, and October, respec-
    tively,  and phosphorus limitation  would be expected.

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
 tributary 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.
     Nutrient loads for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
 drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the nutrient loads,
 in kg/km2/year, at station B-l and multiplying by the ZZ area in km2.
     The operators of the Gal ion and  Mt. Gilead wastewater treatment
 plants provided monthly effluent samples and  corresponding flow data
 The operator of the Delaware State Park plant did not participate in
 the Survey, and nutrient loads were  estimated at 1.134 kg P and 3.401
 N/capita/year.
 * See Working Paper No.  175.

-------
    Nutrient loadings for the Village of Cardington were estimated at
1.587 kg P and 4.263 kg N/capita/year for 30% of the population during
the months of May through September and 1.134 kg P and 3.401  kg N/capita/
year for the total population during the months of October through April
(from May through September, 1973, approximately 3Q% of the population
served discharged untreated sewage to Whetstone Creek; Gompf, 1975).

E.  Yearly Loadings:
        In the following table, the existing phosphorus loadings
    are compared to those proposed by Vollenweider  (Vollenweider
    and Dillon, 1974).  Essentially, his  "dangerous"  loading is the
    rate 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.
