                          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, 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.

-------
                                 m
    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
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 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 South Carolina Department
of Health and Environmental Control for professional involvement,
to the South Carolina National Guard for conducting the tributary
sampling phase of the Survey, and to those South Carolina waste-
water treatment plant operators who voluntarily provided effluent
samples and flow data.

    The staff of the South Carolina Bureau of Wastewater and
Stream Quality Control 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 Robert L. McCrady, the Adjutant General of South
Carolina, and Project Officer Lt.  Colonel John P. DuPre (Retired),
who directed the volunteer efforts of the South Carolina National
Guardsmen, are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance
to the Survey.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Saluda Lake is mesotrophic.   How-
        ever, since the mean hydraulic retention time of this water body
        is a very short six days, it more closely resembles a slow-moving
        stream, and the term "moderately-enriched" may be a better de-
        scription of this lake.
            Saluda Lake ranked fourth in overall trophic quality when
        the 13 South Carolina lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using
        a combination of six parameters*.  Seven of the lakes had less
        median total phosphorus, three had less and two had the same
        median dissolved phosphorus, three had less median inorganic
        nitrogen, 11 had greater mean Secchi disc transparency, but none
        of the other lakes had less mean chlorophyll a^ (1.5 ug/1).   However,
        the low chlorophyll  a^ concentrations and lack of transparency
        (the mean Secchi disc depth was less than 0.6 meters) indicate
        primary productivity was light-limited rather than nutrient limi-
        ted.  Survey limnologists commented on the highly turbid water at
        each of the sampling stations and times.
            Survey limnologists observed floating and emergent macrophytes
        in the shallows near both sampling stations.

    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate that Saluda Lake was phos-
        phorus limited at the time the assay sample was collected (06/23/
        73).  The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation at the other
        sampling times as well.  However, primary productivity in the lake
        probably is light-limited rather than nutrient-limited.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—No known point sources contributed phos-
        phorus to Saluda Lake during the sampling year.
            The present phosphorus loading of 15.23 g/m2/yr is five times
        that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,  1974) as
        a eutrophic loading (page 11).  However, the mean hydraulic
        retention time of Saluda Lake is a very short six days,  and it
        is unlikely that Vollenweider's model is applicable.
            2.  Non-point sources—The phosphorus contributions  of non-
        point sources accounted for the entire load impacting Saluda
        Lake during the year.   The Saluda River contributed 99.6%, and
        the ungaged tributaries accounted for an estimated 0.3%.
            The phosphorus export rate of the Saluda River (46 kg/km2/yr)
        was rather high compared to the rates of the tributaries  of down-
        stream Lake Greenwood* (mean of 21 kg/km2/yr; range of 9  to 36
        kg/km2/yr).  The higher export rate may have been due to  unmeasured
        sources impacting one or more of the three branches of the Saluda
        River above the lake; e.g., septic tanks in Slater (see  map, page  v),

III.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Saluda 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 a
  number of depths at two stations on the  lake (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 9.1 meters at station 1  and 4.3 meters at  station  2.
      The 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 Saluda Lake was moderate at the time the  sample was  col-
    lected.   Also, increasing yields with increasing concentra-
    tions of orthophosphorus indicate that the lake was limited
    by phosphorus at that  time. Note that the addition of  only
    nitrogen resulted in a yield not significantly  different
    from that of the control.
        The  lake data also indicate phosphorus limitation.   At
    both stations and all  sampling times, the mean  inorganic
    nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 23/1 or greater, and
    phosphorus limitation  would be expected.   However,  primary
    productivity in the lake probably is light-limited rather
    than nutrient-limited.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  South Carolina
 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 month of January when two samples  were collected.  Sampling
 was begun in February, 1973, and was completed in February, 1974.
     Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year  were provided by
 the South Carolina District Office of the  U.S.  Geological Survey for the
 tributary sites nearest the lake.
     In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were
 determined by using a modification of a U.S. Geological Survey computer
 program for calculating stream loadings*.   Nutrient  loads for unsampled
 "minor tributaries and immediate drainage" ("II" of  U.S.G.S.) were estimated
 using the means of the nutrient loads, in  kg/km 2/year, at stations B-l
 and C-l  of Lake William C. Bowen** and multiplying the means by the II
 area in km2.
     No known point sources impacted Saluda Lake during the sampling year.

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.

     (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Saluda Lake:

        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)          1.50
