Appendices 15 ------- 11 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)]s 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.

NO. 5111 I. CONCLUSIONS A. Trophic Condition: Survey data indicate that Lake Chesdin as eutrophic. It ranked fifth in overall trophic quality when the eight Virginia lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six parameters*. Three lakes had less and one had the same median total phosphorus, two had less and one had the same median dis- solved phosphorus, one had less median inorganic nitrogen, six had less mean chlorophyll a_, and seven had greater mean Secchi disc transparency. Survey limnologists reported algal scums in small coves and submerged and emergent vegetation along the shore near stations 1 and 2 in September. B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient: The algal assay results indicate that Lake Chesdin was phos- phorus limited when the sample was collected (04/07/73). The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation at the other sampling times as well, except for station 3 in September. C. Nutrient Controllability: 1. Point sources—The phosphorus contribution of known point sources amounted to 14.9% of the total input to Lake Chesdin during * See Appendix A. ------- 2 . the sampling year. Contributing point sources included the wastewater treatment facilities of Farmville #1 (12.3%), Farmville #2 (2.3%), and the Correctional Field Unit #27 (0.3%). The present phosphorus loading of 3.89 g/m2/yr is more than twice that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 13). However, Vollen- weider 's model probably does not apply to water bodies with short hydraulic retention times, and the mean retention time of Lake Chesdin is a relatively short 31 days. While even complete removal of phosphorus at the listed point sources would only reduce the overall loading to 3.31 g/m2/yr, in view of the questionable applicability of the model, and because Lake Chesdin primarily is phosphorus limited, all phosphorus inputs should be minimized to the greatest practicable extent to slow the present rate of eutrophication. 2. Non-point sources--Non-point sources accounted for about 85% of the total phosphorus input to Lake Chesdin during the sampling year. After point-source loads were subtracted, the Appomattox River contributed 64.5%, and Whipponock Creek contributed 0.4% of the total. Other gaged tributaries were Deep Creek which contrib- uted 10.2%; Namozine Creek, 3.2%; and Winterpock Creek, 1.2% of the total load. Ungaged tributaries were estimated to have contrib- uted '5.1% of the total phosphorus input. The phosphorus export of the Appomattox River alone was large enough to produce an overall loading of 2.51 g/m2/yr; i.e., well ------- 3 above a eutrophic loading. However, the phosphorus export rate of the river was not much higher than the export rates of the other Lake Chesdin tributaries (see page 12), but the relatively large drainage-area to lake-area ratio of 188 to 1 would ensure a significant non-point phosphorus load to the lake even if the export rate could be reduced by one-third. ------- II.

LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY Lake Chesdin 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 12.8 meters at station 1, 13.1 meters at station 2, and 1.2 meters at station 3. The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and are summarized in the following table. ------- PARAMETER TEMP (C) DISS OXY (MG/L) CNDCTVY (MCROMO) PH (STAND UNITS) TOT ALK (MG/L) TOT P (MG/L) ORTHO P (MG/L) N02»N03 (MG/L) AMMONIA (MG/L) KJEL N (MG/L) INORG N (MG/L) TOTAL N (MG/L) CHLRPYL A (IJG/L) SECCHI (METERS) A.

Discussion - The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum capri- cornutum, indicates that the potential primary productivity of Lake Chesdin was moderately high at the time the sample was collected (04/07/73). A significant increase in yield resulted from the addition of only phosphorus, indicating that the lake was limited by phosphorus at that time. Note that no such increase occurred when only nitrogen was added. The lake data substantiate these findings. The mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 23/1 or greater at all stations and sampling times, with the exception of station 3 in September when the N/P ratio was about 9/1 (nitrogen limitation would be expected). ------- IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS (See Appendix E for data) For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Virginia National Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples from each of the tributary sites indicated on the map (page v). .Sampling was begun in July, 1973, and was completed in May, 1974. Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by the Virginia District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey for the tributary sites nearest the lake except for Nooning and Winticomack Creeks (stations F-l and G-l). The drainage areas and flows of these tributaries are included in "minor tributaries and immediate drainage". Monthly samples were taken at these stations, and the data are included in Appendix E for the record. 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 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 means of the nutrient loads, in kg/km2/year, at stations C-l, D-l, and E-l and multiplying the means by the ZZ area in km2. The operator of the Farmville #1 wastewater treatment plant provided monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data. The operators of the Correctional Field Unit #27 and Farmville #2 wastewater treatment * See Working Paper No. 175. ------- 10 plants did not participate in the Survey, and nutrient loads were esti- mated at 1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year.

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. Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen Total Accumulated Total Accumulated grams/m2/yr 3.89 0.24 47.8 loss* Vollenweider phosphorus loadings (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean hydraulic retention time of Lake Chesdin: "Dangerous" (eutrophic loading) 1.74 "Permissible" (oligotrophic loading) 0.87 * There was an apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year. This may have been due to nitrogen fixation in the lake, solubilization of previously sedimented nitrogen, recharge with nitrogen-rich ground water, or unknown and unsampled point sources discharging directly to the lake. Whatever the cause, a similar nitrogen loss has occurred at Shagawa Lake, Minnesota, which has been intensively studied by EPA's former National Eutrophication and Lake Restoration Branch (Malueg et al., 1975). ------- 14 V.
