    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)]s 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  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.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

    The staff of the National Eutrophication Survey (Office of
Research & Development, U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Resources for professional  involvement and to
the Pennsylvania National Guard for conducting the tributary
sampling phase of the Survey.

    Walter A. Lyon, Director of the Bureau of Water Quality
Management, Richard M. Boardman, Chief of the Division of  Water
Quality, and James T. Ulanoski, Aquatic Biologist of the Division
of Water Quality, provided invaluable lake documentation and
counsel during the Survey, reviewed the preliminary reports,  and
provided critiques most useful in the preparation of this  Working
Paper series.

    Major General Harry J. Mier, Jr., the Adjutant General of
Pennsylvania, and Project Officer Major Ronald E. Wickard, who
directed the volunteer efforts of the Pennsylvania National
Guardsmen, are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate  that Beltzville  Lake  is mesotrophic.
        Beltzville Lake ranked second in overall  trophic quality when
        the 17 Pennsylvania lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using
        a combination of six lake parameters**.   Two of the lakes had
        less median total phosphorus, one had  less  and three had the
        same median dissolved phosphorus, 11 had  less  median inorganic
        nitrogen, none had less mean  chlorophyll  a_, and only one had
        greater mean Secchl disc  transparency.  Marked depression of
        dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at stations 1 and 2 in
        July and October, 1973.
            Survey limnologists did not observe any algal concentrations
        or rooted aquatic vegetation  during their visits and commented
        on the attractive appearance  of the lake.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate that primary productivity
        in Beltzville Lake was phosphorus limited at the time the sample
        was taken (04/17/73).  The lake data indicate  phosphorus limi-
        tation at the other sampling  times as  well.

** See Appendix B.

-------
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—There were no known  point  sources
        impacting Beltzville Lake during the sampling  year.  The
        present loading rate of 0.55 g/m2/yr is essentially  the same
        as that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
        1974) as an oligotrophic rate (see page 12).   If  this low
        phosphorus loading rate can be maintained,  the existing
        excellent water quality of Beltzville Lake  should persist.
            2.  Non-point sources—The mean annual  phosphorus loads
        from the two gaged tributaries amounted to  77.4%  of  the total
        load reaching the lake.  The estimated phosphorus load from
        the ungaged drainage areas amounted to 19.5% of the  total load.
            The phosphorus export rates of the two  gaged  tributaries
        (see page 12) were comparable to the rates  of  unimpacted
        Pennsylvania tributaries surveyed elsewhere; e.g., Wagner
        Run (14 kg P/km2/yr) and Upper Tunkhannock  Creek  {10 kg P/
        km2/yr), tributaries of nearby Pocono Lake*.

III.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Beltzville 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 (4.6
  m 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 sta-
  tions for chlorophyll  a. analysis.  The  maximum depths sampled were 36.9
  meters at station 1, 22.9 meters at  station 2, and 12.8 meters at station
  3.
      The lake sampling results are  presented in full in Appendix D and
  are summarized in the following table.

    2.  Discussion -
            The control  yield  of the  assay  alga, Selenastrum capri-
        cornutum, indicates that the  potential primary productivity
        of Beltzville Lake was low at the time the assay sample was
        collected (04/17/73).   The significant increase in yield
        (compared to the control) with  the  addition of orthophos-
        phorus and the lack of change in yield when only nitrogen
        was added indicate phosphorus limitation.
            The lake data also indicate phosphorus limitation; i.e.,
        the mean N/P ratios were 107/1  or greater, and phosphorus
        limitation would be expected.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Pennsylvania
 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 col-
 lected.  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 Pennsylvania 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" ("II" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated  using the nutrient loads
 at station B-l, in kg/km2/year, and  multiplying by the II area in km2.
     The flow in Wild Creek {station  C-l) is  controlled by releases
 from the Penn Forest and Wild  Creek  reservoirs which primarily are used
 for municipal water supplies.   The flow in Wild Creek below these
   See Working  Paper No.  175.

-------
reservoirs largely is seepage and ground-water  recharge and generally
measures less than 0.01  m3/day.  Therefore,  loading  estimates were not

E.  Yearly Loading Rates:
        In the following table,  the existing phosphorus loading
    rates are compared to those  proposed by Vollenweider (Vollen-
    weider and Dillon, 1974).   Essentially, his "dangerous" rate
    is the rate at which the receiving water would  become eutrophic
    or remain eutrophic; his "permissible" rate is  that which would
    result in the receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming
    oligotrophic if morphometry  permitted.  A mesotrophic rate 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.

    Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
     (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Beltzville Lake:
        "Dangerous"  (eutrophic rate)        1.12
        "Permissible"  {oligotrophic rate)   0.56
