                          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 Iowa Department of Environ-
mental Quality for professional involvement, to the Iowa National
Guard: for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the Survey,
and to those wastewater treatment plant operators who voluntarily
provided effluent samples and flow data.

    The staff of the Water Quality Division of the Department of
Environmental 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 Joseph G. May, the Adjutant General of Iowa,
and Project Officer Colonel Cleadeth P. Woods, who directed the
volunteer efforts of the Iowa National Guardsmen, are also grate-
fully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

I.   CONCLUSIONS
    A.   Trophic Condition:
            Survey data  indicate  that  Lake Ahquabi  is eutrophic.   It ranked
        third in overall  trophic  quality when  the 15  Iowa lakes and reser-
        voirs sampled  in  1974 were compared  using a combination of six param-
        eters*.   Six of  the  water bodies had less median total phosphorus,
        three had less dissolved  orthophosphorus, seven had less median  inor-
        ganic nitrogen,  none had  less  mean chlorophyll a_, and eight had
        greater mean Secchi  disc  transparency.   Significant depression of
        dissolved oxygen  with depth  was  not  detected  at any sampling time.
    B.   Rate-Limiting  Nutrient:
            The algal  assay  results  indicate that the primary productivity
        of Lake Ahquabi  was  limited  by phosphorus at  the time the  sample
        was collected  (04/17/74).  The lake  data indicate phosphorus limi-
        tation in September  as well.
    C.   Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point  sources—No municipal  or industrial point-sources
        contributed phosphorus to Lake Ahquabi  during the sampling year.
        Septic tanks were estimated  to have  contributed 1.8% of the total
        phosphorus load,  but a shoreline survey would be necessary to
        determine the  actual  significance of those  sources.
            The present  phosphorus loading of  1.02  g/m2/yr is over 2^ times
  See Appendix A.

-------
                                     2
        that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974)
        as a eutrophic  loading (see page 11).  If the present phosphorus
        loading is not  reduced, it is likely that the existing trophic
        quality of the  lake will deteriorate.
            2.  Non-point sources—Approximately 98% of the total  phos-
        phorus input to Lake Ahquabi during the sampling year came from
        non-point sources.  Unnamed Stream B-l contributed 45.4% of the
        total, and the  contribution of unsampled tributaries was esti-
        mated to have been 51.0%.
            The phosphorus export rate of Unnamed Stream B-l was 42 kg/km2/yr
        (see page 10).  This rate is higher than the rate of a tributary
        of Rathbun Lake* (36 kg/km2/yr) but lower than the rates of two
        of the tributaries of nearby Red Rock Reservoir** (68 and 78 kg/
        km2/yr).
            The watershed of Lake Ahquabi is intensively farmed, and agri-
        cultural runoff probably contributes a large part of the total
        non-point phosphorus load to the lake.  In view of the apparent
        minimal impact of point sources, it appears that any significant
        improvement in  the trophic condition of the lake will depend on
        control of agricultural phosphorus contributions.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
    Lake Ahquabi was sampled three times during the open-water season
of 1974 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter.  Each time,
samples for physical and chemical parameters were collected from three
depths at one station on the lake (see map, page v).  During each visit,
a single depth-integrated  (near bottom to surface) sample was collected
for phytoplankton identification and enumeration, and a similar sample
was collected for chlorophyll ^analysis.  During the first visit, a
single 18.9-liter depth-integrated sample was taken for algal assays.
The maximum depth sampled was 4.3 meters.
    The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and are
summarized in the following table (the July nutrient samples were not
properly preserved and were not analyzed).

2.  Discussion -
        The control yield  of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-
    cornutum, indicates that the potential  primary  productivity
    of Lake Ahquabi was high at the time the sample was  taken
    (04/17/74).  Also,  the addition of orthophosphorus alone
    resulted in a significant increase in yield  indicating that
    the lake was phosphorus limited at that time.   Note  that the
    addition of only nitrogen resulted in a yield not significantly
    greater than that of the control.
        The lake data substantiate phosphorus limitation.   The
    mean inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios were 56
    to 1 and 17 to 1  in April  and  September,  respectively,  and
    phosphorus limitation  would be expected.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix £ for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  Iowa  National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples  from each  of  the
 tributary sites indicated on the map (page v).   Sampling  was begun
 in  December, 1974, and was completed in June,  1975.
     Through an interagency agreement, stream flow  estimates  for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year  were  provided by  „
 the Iowa 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  nutrient  loads
 at  station B-l, in kg/km2/year, and multiplying  by the II area  in km2.
     No wastewater treatment plants impacted Lake Ahquabi  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.
