                          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)L
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

-------
    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.  INTRODUCTION
     West Okoboji Lake was included in the National  Eutrophication Survey
 as a water body of interest to the Iowa  Department of Environmental  Quality.
 Tributaries and nutrient sources were not sampled,  and this report relates
 only to the lake sampling data.
     West Okoboji Lake, the second largest in surface area of the Iowa
 Great Lakes, has the greatest mean depth and largest drainage area of
 these lakes.  The topography of the watershed is characterized as a  gently-
 rolling terrain with marshlands of various sizes scattered throughout.
 Most of the watershed area is cropland.   In another study, animal feedlots
 in the watershed were shown to be major  contributors of nutrients (Anony-
 mous, 1974).
II.  CONCLUSIONS
     A.  Trophic Condition:
             Survey data and a report by  others (Bachmann and Jones,
         1974) indicate that West Okoboji Lake is eutrophic.  It ranked
         second in overall trophic quality when the  15 Iowa lakes and
         reservoirs sampled in 1974 were  compared using a combination of
         six parameters*.   However, based on their more extensive studies,
         Bachman and Jones (op. cit.) consider West Okoboji Lake to be of
         better trophic quality than .Spirit Lake which ranked first using
         using Survey data.
 * See Appendix A.

        One of the other Iowa water bodies had less and one had
    the same median total phosphorus, nine had less and one had
    the same median dissolved phosphorus, none of the other water
    bodies had less median inorganic nitrogen and mean chlorophyll
    a^, and none had greater mean Secchi disc transparency.  Survey
    limnologists reported a phytoplankton bloom in July, but no
    higher aquatic vegetation was noted.
        Some of the Survey lake data can be compared to data col-
    lected during the period of 1971-1972 (Bachman and Jones, op.
    cit).  The dissolved oxygen concentration show marked depression
    at the deepest site during 1971-1972 as well  as in 1974.  Water
    clarity (as measured by a Secchi disc) was greater in 1974, and
    chlorophyll a^ levels apparently were higher (possibly indicating
    an increase in primary productivity since 1972).
        West Okoboji presently satisfies an important recreational
    need in the area.  The lake is in danger of advanced cultural
    eutrophication due to the high nutrient load received from agri-
    cultural practices in the watershed (Anonymous, op. cit.).
B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
        The algal assay results indicate that West Okoboji Lake was
    phosphorus limited in April and nitrogen limited in September.
    These results are substantiated by the lake data which indicate
                         «
    limitation by phosphorus and nitrogen at the respective sampling
    times.

IV.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
     West Okoboji Lake 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
 a number of depths at three stations on the lake (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 and third visits, 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
 18.3 meters at station 1, 39.6 meters at station 2, and 10.7 meters
 at  station 3.
     The sampling results are presented in full  in Appendix  D and are
 summarized in the following table (the July nutrient samples were not
 preserved properly and were not analyzed).

    2.   Discussion -

            The control  yields  of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-

        cornutum,  indicate that the  potential  primary  productivity

        of West Okoboji  Lake was low in  April  but  moderately high

        in September,  1974.   In the  April  assay, a significant

        increase in yield  occurred with  the addition of  phosphorus

        alone but  not  with the  addition  of only  nitrogen.   In the

        September  assay, a significant increase  in yield occurred with

        the addition of  nitrogen alone but not with the  addition of

        only phosphorus.  Thus, phosphorus limitation  is indicated in

        the April  sample,  and nitrogen limitation  is indicated  in the

        September  sample.

            The lake data  substantiate these findings.   In  April, the

        mean inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratio was 14 to 1,

        and in September it was 6 to 1.
