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.
-------
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
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 Melvern Reservoir is eutrophic. It
ranked sixth in overall trophic quality when the 15 Kansas
reservoirs sampled in 1974 were compared using a combination
of six parameters*. Three of the reservoirs had less median
total phosphorus and dissolved orthophosphorus, two had less
and one had the same median inorganic nitrogen, 14 had less
mean chlorophyll a_, and two had greater mean Secchi disc
transparency. Marked depression of dissolved oxygen with
depths occurred at two of the three sampling stations in June.
Survey limnologists observed surface concentrations of
algae in June and October; however, phytoplankton were rela-
tively sparse in the samples collected at those times (see page
6).
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results indicate Melvern Reservoir was phos-
phorus limited at the time the sample was taken (04/12/74).
The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation all three
sampling times.
* See Appendix A.
-------
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—The only known point source, the town of
Reading, contributed 1.4% of the total phosphorus load reaching
Melyern Reservoir during the sampling year.
The present phosphorus loading of 0.79 g/m2/yr is 1.7 times
that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974)
as a eutrophic loading (see page 12). Considering the relatively
small point-source contribution, it does not seem likely that
control of phosphorus at the Reading wastewater treatment plant
would result in any significant improvement in the trophic
condition of the reservoir.
2. Non-point sources—Non-point sources accounted for 98.6%
of the total phosphorus load to the reservoir during the sampling
year. The Marais Des Cygnes River contributed 50.5% of the total;
Mud Creek, 2.1%; and the ungaged tributaries contributed an esti-
mated 43.8%.
The phosphorus export rate of both the Marais Des Cygnes
River and Mud Creek was 24 kg/km2/yr (see page 11). This rate
was higher than the rates of three of the four tributaries of
nearby Pomona Reservoir* (mean of 12 kg/km2/yr) but lower than
the Switzler Creek rate (37 kg/km2/yr).

III. WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Melvern 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 three 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 April
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 19.2 meters at station 1, 14.3
meters at station 2, and 6.7 meters at station 3.
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 Melvern Reservoir was low at the time the sample was
taken (04/12/74). Increased growth occurred when only phos-
phorus was added, but no such response occurred with the
addition of only nitrogen. These results indicate that Melvern
-------
8
Reservoir was phosphorus limited at that time.
The reservoir data substantiate the assay findings.
The mean inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios
were 78 to 1 in April, 26 to 1 in June, and 23 to 1 in
October; i.e., phosphorus limitation is indicated all
three times.
-------
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 months of May and June when two 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
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/km 2/year, at stations A-2 and C-l and multi-
plying the means by the ZZ area in km2.
The operator of the Reading wastewater treatment plant provided
monthly effluent samples but could not provide corresponding flow
data. 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.
