                          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 [5303(e)], water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)], clean lakes [§314(a,b)J,
and water quality monitoring [5106 and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

-------
                                 Ill
    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 auqment 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 Kansas State Department of
Health and Environment for professional involvement, to the Kansas
National Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of
the Survey, and to those Kansas wastewater treatment plant opera-
tors who voluntarily provided effluent samples and flow data.

    The staff of the Kansas Division of Environmental Health pro-
vided invaluable lake documentation and counsel during the Survey,
reviewed the preliminary reports, and provided critiques most use-
ful in the preparation of this Working Paper series.

    Major General Edward R. Fry, the Adjutant General of Kansas,
and Project Officer Colonel Albin L. Lundquist, who directed the
volunteer efforts of the Kansas National  Guardsmen, are also grate-
fully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

I.   CONCLUSIONS



    A.   Trophic Condition:



            Survey data  indicate Cedar Bluff  Reservoir is  mesotrophic.



        It ranked first  in overall  trophic  quality  when the  15  Kansas



        reservoirs sampled in 1974 were compared  using a combination



        of six parameters*.   None of the other  reservoirs  had less



        median total  phosphorus, one had less and one  had  the same



        median dissolved orthophosphorus, none  had  less median  inorganic



        nitrogen,  one had less mean  chlorophyll a_,  and none  had greater



        mean Secchi  disc transparency.   Some  depression of dissolved



        oxygen (to 50% of saturation)  occurred  at sampling station  2 in



        June.



            Survey limnologists did  not observe algal  concentrations or



        aquatic macrophytes  and commented on  the  pleasing  appearance of



        the reservoir in June.



    B.   Rate-Limiting Nutrient:



            The algal  assay  results  indicate  Cedar  Bluff Reservoir  was



        phosphorus limited  at the time  the  sample was  taken  (04/15/74).



            The reservoir data indicate phosphorus  limitation in April but



        nitrogen limitation  in October.



    C.   Nutrient Controllability:



            1.   Point sources—No known municipal or industrial wastewater
  See Appendix A.

-------
treatment plants impacted Cedar Bluff Reservoir during the
sampling year.  Septic tanks serving shoreline dwellings and
recreational areas contributed an estimated 0.1% of the total
phosphorus load, but a shoreline survey would have to be done
to determine the actual significance of those sources.
    The apparent phosphorus loading of 0.17 g/m2/yr is a little
more than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as an oligotrophic loading (i.e., a mesotrophic loading;
see page 13).  However, the level of the reservoir averaged about
4 meters below the conservation pool level during water year 1975
(10/01/74-09/30/75), and the area of the reservoir at that level
is not known (Kring, 1977).  Obviously, the area was less than  the
26.84 square kilometers indicated on page 4; and, therefore, the
actual areal phosphorus loading during the sampling year (10/74-
09/75) was somewhat greater than 0.17 gm/m2 but probably was still
in the mesotrophic range (i.e., with the phosphorus loading meas-
ured during the sampling year, 4,435 kg, the area at minus 4 meters
would have to be 41% less than that at the conservation pool level
to result in an areal loading just equal to Vollenweider's eutrophic
level of 0.28 g/m2/yr).
    If the loading is not increased significantly, the existing
quality of the reservoir should persist.

-------
    2.  Non-point sources--Non-point source phosphorus inputs
amounted to 99.9% of the total phosphorus load to Cedar Bluff
Reservoir during the sampling year.  The Smokey Hill River con-
tributed 64.3% of the total, and ungaged tributaries contributed
an estimated 24.7%.
    The non-point phosphorus export rate of the Smokey Hill River
was 0.2 kg/km2/yr.   This rate is very low compared to the rates
of Kansas tributaries sampled elsewhere.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Cedar Bluff Reservoir  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 two  stations  on the reservoir (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 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 10.7 meters  at station  2.
      The sampling results are presented in full  in Appendix D and are
  summarized in the following table (the June 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 Cedar Bluff Reservoir was low at the time the sample was

    taken (04/15/74).  The significant increase in yield with the

    addition of phosphorus alone and the lack of significant increase

    when only nitrogen was added indicate that the reservoir was

    phosphorus limited at that time.

-------
    The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation in
April but nitrogen limitation in October.   The mean inor-
ganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios were 14 to 1 in April
and 9 to 1 in October.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Kansas National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples from each of the
 tributary sites indicated on the map (page vi),  except for the months
 of May,  June,  and July when two samples were collected.   Sampling was
 begun in October, 1974, and was completed in September,  1975.
     Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized"  or average year were provided by
 the Kansas District Office of the U.S. Geological  Survey for the
 tributary sites nearest the reservoir.
     In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were
 calculated using mean annual concentrations and  mean annual flows.
 Nutrient loads for unsampled "minor tributaries  and immediate
 drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the mean concen-
 trations in Page Creek at station B-l and the mean annual  ZZ flow.
     No known wastewater treatment plants impacted Cedar Bluffs
 Reservoir during the sampling year.

F.   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
                                            I
    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.
