                          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 Norton Reservoir is potentially
        eutrophic.  However, the reservoir becomes quite turbid during
        periods of runoff, and primary productivity is intermittently
        light-limited (Kring, 1977).
            This water body ranked eighth in overall  trophic quality
        when the 15 Kansas reservoirs sampled in 1974 were compared
        using a combination of six water quality parameters*.   Thirteen
        of the reservoirs had less median total  phosphorus, 11  had less
        and one had the same median dissolved orthophosphorus,  one had
        less median inorganic nitrogen, 13 had less mean chlorophyll  a_,
        and five had greater mean Secchi  disc transparency.
            Survey limnologists did not observe surface concentrations of
        algae but noted emergent vegetation along the shoreline at station
        2 in June.  However, phytoplankton numbers in June indicate  a near-
        bloom condition at that time (see page 7).
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate Norton Reservoir was  nitrogen
        limited at the time the sample was taken (04/15/74).  The  reservoir
        data indicate nitrogen limitation at all sampling stations and

-------
    times; however, primary productivity is light-limited  at times
    rather than nutrient-limited.
C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.  Point sources—The wastewater treatment plant  at
    Jennings contributed an estimated 2.6% of the total  phos-
    phorus load to Norton Reservoir during the sampling  year.
    In addition, the Colby wastewater facility of unknown  nutrient
    significance is located some 90 kilometers upstream  from the
    reservoir.  Further investigation would be needed to determine
    the significance of nutrients contributed by Colby.
        The present phosphorus loading of 1.26 g/m2/year is  3.7
    times that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and  Dillon,
    1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 13).   However,  the level
    of the reservoir averaged about five meters below the  conserva-
    tion pool level during the sampling year, and the area of the
    reservoir at that level is not known (Kring, 1977).  Obviously,
    the area was less than the 8.86 square kilometers indicated on
    page 4, so the actual areal phosphorus loading was to  some
    unknown degree greater than that calculated.  In any case, even
    complete removal of phosphorus at the Jennings wastewater treat-
    ment plant would not reduce the loading to any great extent,
    and on the basis of Survey data, it appears that a significant
    improvement in the trophic, condition of the reservoir  would

-------
result only if the 8,000 kg phosphorus load in Prairie Dog
Creek can be substantially reduced.
    2.  Non-point sources--Non-point sources accounted for
97.4% of the total phosphorus load during the sampling year.
Prairie Dog Creek contributed 71.9%, and the minor tributaries
and immediate drainage contributed an estimated 24.1%.
    Part of the non-point source load in Prairie Dog Creek may
have been due to the Colby wastewater treatment plant; however,
the phosphorus export rate of the creek was low and indicates
relatively little point-source impact (see page 12).  Agriculture
is the dominant land-use practice around the reservoir and may
contribute significantly to the nutrient loads.  Additional  study
would be needed to evaluate the contribution and controllability
of nutrients from such sources.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Norton 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 one station in April  and  at two  stations
  in June and September (see map,  page v).   During each  visit,  a  single
  depth-integrated (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  a_
  analysis.   The maximum depths sampled were 3.0 meters  at station 1,
  5.5 meters at station 2, and 1.5 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 Norton Reservoir  was high, at the time, the sample was

        collected (04/15/74).   Also, the lack of growth response with

        the addition  of phosphorus alone un.til  nitrogen was also added

-------
indicates the reservoir was nitrogen limited at that time.
Note that the addition of nitrogen alone resulted in a
yield significantly greater than that of the control.
    The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation as
well.  However, primary productivity in the reservoir is
intermittently light-limited (Kring, 1977).
    Nitrogen limitation, as indicated by the algal assay or
by in-reservoir nitrogen to phosphorus ratios, does not
necessarily mean that the trophic condition of the reservoir
can be improved by controlling nitrogen inputs.  In many
cases, the apparent condition of nitrogen-limitation results
from excessive phosphorus input from point sources and is
often accompanied by a corresponding increase in primary
production.  In such cases, the reversal of the enriched
condition depends upon phosphorus control, not nitrogen
control.

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 and July when two samples were collected.   Sampling was begun
 in November, 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 cal-
 culated 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 concen-
 trations in South Prairie Dog Creek at station B-2 and the mean annual
 ZZ flow.
     The operator of the wastewater treatment plant of Jennings did not
 participate; 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.
