                          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
          o
    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 [§106 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 v/ater 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 Wilson Reservoir is mesotrophic.
        It ranked second in overall trophic quality among the 15 Kansas
        reservoirs sampled in 1974 when compared using a combination of
        six water quality parameters*.  One of the reservoirs had less
        median total phosphorus, one had less and one had the same median
        dissolved orthophosphorus, two had less and one had the same
        median inorganic nitrogen, six had less mean chlorophyll a_, and
        none of the other reservoirs had greater mean Secchi disc trans-
        parency.  Depression of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at
        sampling stations 2 and 3 in June.
            Survey limnologists did not observe macrophytes or surface
        concentrations of algae during sampling visits.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate that Wilson Reservoir was
        phosphorus limited at the time the sample was collected (04/12/74),
        The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation at all sampling
        stations and times.

C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.   Point Sources—During the sampling  year,  the  listed
    point sources accounted for an estimated  22.1%  of the total
    phosphorus input to Wilson Reservoir.   The  wastewater treatment
    plant at Plainville contributed 16.7%,  the  plant  at Natoma
    contributed 3.9%, and the  plant at Bunker Hill  contributed 1.6%
    of the total.
        The present phosphorus loading of 0.47  g/m2/year  is  nearly
    1.4 times that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
    1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page  13).   Continuation of this
    loading may increase primary productivity and eventually cause
    the reservoir to become eutrophic.  Because the water-body is
    phosphorus limited, point-source phosphorus should be reduced to
    the greatest practicable extent to at least slow  the  present
    rate of enrichment.
        2.   Non-point sources--Non-point sources contributed 77.8%
    of the total  phosphorus load during the sampling  year.   The Saline
    River contributed 62.7%, Cedar Creek contributed  0.7%, and Para-
    dise Creek contributed 0.3%.  The ungaged minor tributaries and
    immediate drainage contributed an estimated 10.4%.
        The phosphorus export  rates of the  three tributaries were
    quite low (3 kg/km2/yr and less; see page 12).

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Wilson 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 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 16.8  meters
  at station 1, 15.2 meters at station 2, and 12.2 meters at station  3.
      The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and  are
  summarized in the following table (the June nutrient samples were not
  preserved properly and were not analyzed).

    2.   Discussion -

            The control  yield  of the  assay  alga,  Selenastrum capri-

        cornutum,  indicates  that the  potential  primary  productivity

        of Wilson  Reservoir  was  low at  the  time the  sample was col-

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

        addition of phosphorus alone  indicates  that  the reservoir

        was phosphorus  limited at that  time.  Note that the addition

-------
                         8
of nitrogen alone resulted in a yield no greater than that
of the control.
    The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation as  well,
The mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 30/1
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 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 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 Cedar Creek at station B-l and the mean  annual ZZ flow.
     The operator of the Plainville wastewater treatment plant pro-
 vided monthly effluent samples; however, flows appear to be estimates.
 The operator of the Natona wastewater treatment  plant also provided
 monthly samples but flows were not available.  Therefore, nutrient
 loads from these sources and  those from  the wastewater  treatment plant

-------
                                    10
at Bunker Hill, which was not sampled, were estimated  at 1.134  kg P and
3.401 kg N/capita/year; and flows were estimated at 0.3785 m3/capita/day.

E.   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.
