FOREWORD
The National Eutrophication Survey was Initiated 1n 1972 1n
response to an Administration commitment to Investigate the nation-
wide threat of accelerated eutropMcation 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.
-------
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

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Lake Ontelaunee is eutrophic.
It ranked fifteenth in overall trophic quality when the 17
Pennsylvania lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a
combination of six lake parameters**. Only four of the
lakes had higher median total phosphorus levels, two had
higher median dissolved phosphorus, none had higher median
inorganic nitrogen, all lakes had greater mean Secchi disc
transparency, and nine had less mean chlorophyll a_. Depression
of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at both sampling sta-
tions in July and October, 1973.
Survey limnologists noted that the water was turbid on
all sampling occasions. Algal blooms were observed on the
second and third visits at station two and in the Maiden Creek
section of the lake during the third visit. Floating and emer-
gent aquatic weeds were observed near station one on the third
visit.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results show that Lake Ontelaunee was
phosphorus limited at the time the assay sample was collected

(04/13/73). The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation at
all sampling times.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—During the sampling year, Lake Ontelaunee
received a total phosphorus load at a rate nearly three times
that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974)
as a eutrophic rate (see page 14). However, Vollenweider's
model probably does not apply to water bodies with short hydraulic
retention times, and the mean hydraulic retention time of Lake
Ontelaunee is only 14 days.
It is calculated that the waste treatment plants included
in the Survey contributed 17.3% of the total phosphorus load
to the lake during the sampling year. Even complete removal
of the phosphorus at these point sources would only reduce the
loading rate to 4.00 g/m2/yr. However, 1n view of the question-
able applicability of the model and the phosphorus-limited con-
dition of the lake, it is possible that a high degree of point-
source phosphorus control would reduce the incidence and severity
of nuisance algal blooms.
2. Non-point sources—It is estimated that non-point sources
contributed about 82.6% of the total phosphorus load to Lake Onte-
launee during the sampling year. Maiden Creek, the only major
tributary, had a relatively high phosphorus export rate of 39
-------
3
kg/km2/yr (see page 13). In view of the export N/P ratio of
about 50/1, it is likely that the phosphorus export was the
result of land-use practices in the Maiden Creek drainage.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Lake Ontelaunee 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 and from a number of 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 7.9 meters at station 1 and 3.0 meters at station 2.
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 Lake Ontelaunee was high at the time the assay sample was
collected. Only four of the 17 Pennsylvania lakes studied
had a greater assay control yield.
The N/P ratio of the control sample, the response to
the orthophosphorus spike, and the lack of response when
only nitrogen was added, show that the control sample was
phosphorus limited.

The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation at all

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 vi), except for the
high runoff month of April when two samples were collected. Sampling
was begun 1n May, 1973, and was completed 1n 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" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the adjusted nutrient
loads at station A-2, 1n kg/km2/year, and multiplying by the ZZ area in
km2.
The operators of the Kutztown and Blue Rock Mountain Spring Water
Company wastewater treatment plants provided monthly effluent samples
and corresponding flow data. The Moselem Development Corporation did

not participate in the Survey, and nutrient loads were estimated at
1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year. The community of Virginville
was assumed to be served by septic tanks, and nutrient loads attribu-
ted to that source are included in the septic tank loads.

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.
Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen
Total Accumulated Total Accumulated
grams/m2/yr 4.78 0.62 245.0 loss*
Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
(g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
hydraulic retention time of Lake Ontelaunee:
"Dangerous" (eutrophic rate) 1.76
"Permissible" (oligotrophic rate) 0.88
* There was an apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year. This may
have been due to nitrogen fixation in the lake, solubillzation of previously
sedimented nitrogen, recharge with nitrogen-rich ground water, unknown and
unsampled point sources discharging directly to the lake, or underestimation
of the nitrogen loads from the upper Maiden Creek drainage area. Whatever
the cause, a similar nitrogen loss has occurred at Shagawa Lake, Minnesota,
which has been intensively studied by EPA's National Eutrophication and
Lake .Restoration Branch (Malueg et a!., 1975).
