                          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 [5106 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 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 that Marion Reservoir is eutrophic.  It
        ranked third in overall trophic quality when the 15 Kansas reser-
        voirs sampled in 1974 were compared using a combination of six
        water quality parameters*.  Five of the reservoirs had less median
        total phosphorus, four had less median dissolved orthophosphorus,
        five had less median inorganic nitrogen, ten had less mean chloro-
        phyll a_, and eight had greater mean Secchi disc transparency.
            Survey limnologists did not observe macrophytes or surface
        concentrations of algae.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            !he algal assay results indicate that Marion Reservoir was
        phosphorus limited at the time the sample was taken (04/12/74).
        The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation at all  sampling
        times.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—The only known point source contributing
        phosphorus to Marion Reservoir was the municipal  wastewater treat-
        ment facility at Canton.  It is estimated that this plant contributed
        about 9.5% of the load during the sampling year.   However,  the
        phosphorus export rate of North Cottonwood River at station A-2
* See Appendix A.

-------
(22 kg/km2/yr) may be indicative of an underestimation of the
phosphorus load from Canton or unknown phosphorus sources in
that drainage basin.
    The present phosphorus loading of 0.41  g/m 2/year is about
1.6 times that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 13).   Because the reser-
voir is phosphorus limited, minimization of phosphorus loads to
the greatest practicable extent may slow the rate of eutrophication
in the reservoir, particularly if a major portion of the North
Cottonwood River phosphorus export proves to be controllable.
    2.  Non-point sources—Non-point sources contributed about
90.5% of the total phosphorus load during the sampling year.  The
North Cottonwood River contributed 46.1%, and ungaged minor tribu-
taries and immediate drainage contributed an estimated 40.1%. As
noted above, improvement in water quality of the reservoir would
be possible if a substantial reduction in the North Cottonwood
River phosphorus load can be accomplished.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Marion 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 two  or
  more depths at two stations on the reservoir  (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 ji analysis.  The maximum depths sampled  were 9.1 meters at
  station 1  and 3.0 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 Marion  Reservoir was  high at the time  the  sample was  col-

        lected (04/12/74).   Also,  the significant increase in yield

        with the addition of phosphorus alone  indicates that  the

        reservoir  was  phosphorus limited at that  time.   Note  that

        the addition of  only nitrogen resulted  in a yield essentially

        the same as that of the  control.

-------
                         8
    The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation as  well.
The mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 16/1
or greater at all sampling stations and times,  and phosphorus
limitation would be expected.

-------
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 v), except for the high
 runoff month of June when  three samples were  collected  at most  of the
 sites.   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  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 mean concentrations
 in  Silver Creek at station C-l and the mean annual ZZ flow.
     The operator of  the  Canton wastewater  treatment plant provided
 monthly effluent samples;  however, corresponding flow data were not
 available.   Therefore, nutrient loads were estimated at 1.134 kg P
 and 3.401  kg N/capita/year, and flows were estimated at 0.3785  m3/capita/
 day.

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
    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.
