                               FOREWORD
     The National Eutrophicatlon Survey was Initiated 1n  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,  concen-
trations, 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 nonpoint source pollution abatement in lake water-
sheds.

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
watershed 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
E Tanning [§303(e)], water quality criteria/standards review
 §303(c)], clean lakes [§314(a,bj], 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 condition
are being made to advance the rationale and data base for refine-
ment 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 the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and to augrrent plans implementation by the states.

1.    CONCLUSIONS
     A.    Trophic  Condition:*
               On  the  basis  of  Survey data and field  observations,
          Black Bayou  Reservoir is  considered eutrophic, i.e., nu-
          trient  rich  and highly productive.  Whether such  nutrient
          enrichment is  to be considered  beneficial or deleterious
          is  determined  by its  actual  or  potential  impact upon
          designated beneficial  water uses of each  lake.
               Chlorophyll a^ levels ranged from  2.8 yg/1 in the fall
          to  47.0  Mg/1 in August with a mean of  17.8  pg/1.  Potential
          for primary  production as measured by  algal  assay control
          yield was high, and Secchi  disc transparency was  low.  Of
          the 19  Louisiana lakes sampled  in  1974, 13  had greater
          median  total phosphorus,  13 had greater median inorganic
          nitrogen, and  15 had  greater median orthophosphorus levels
          than Black Bayou Reservoir.
               Field limnologists reported abundant aquatic macro-
          phytes  along the lake bottom and shoreline  area.  Other
          studies  (Shampine, 1971)  indicate  that past pollution to
          Black Bayou  Reservoir from  oil  field wastes  appears to
          have presently  been curtailed.  The general  water quality

     *See  Appendix E.

-------
     in Black Bayou Reservoir appears to range widely,  both with



     respect to areas within the lake and the time of year.



B.   Rate-Limiting Nutrient:



          Mean inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios (N/P)  for



     the reservoir were 9/1 or less on all  four sampling occasions



     suggesting primary limitation by nitrogen.



C.   Nutrient Controllability:



     1.    Point sources -



               The mean annual phosphorus load from point sources  was



          estimated to be approximately 13.4% of the total  load reaching



          Black Bayou Reservoir.  The city of Vivian contributed  this



          entire point source load.


                                                   2
               The phosphorus loading of 1.07 g P/m /yr for Black  Bayou



          Reservoir is approximately 1.6 times the "eutrophic"  load



          proposed by Vollenweider (1975) for lakes with such volume



          and detention time.  Although elimination of  the Vivian  point



          source contributions would substantially reduce loading  to



          the lake, concurrent control of nonpoint sources in the  Black



          Bayou watershed is probably necessary to effect significant



          water quality improvement.

-------
2.    Nonpoint sources -
          The mean annual  phosphorus load from nonpoint
     sources was estimated to be 81.6% of the total  load.
     Measured tributaries  accounted for 62.5% of the
     total, and ungaged tributaries were estimated to
     account for 17.3%.
          In general, few  lakes are nitrogen limited as
     a result of low nitrogen.   Rather, excessive
     phosphorus levels shift limitations to nitrogen
     or other factors.  Reqardless  of the primary nutrient
     limitation suggested  by either algal  assay or nutri-
     ent ratios, the most  feasible  approach to nutrient
     control,  if desirable,  is  through available phospho-
     rus control technology  and subsequent establishment
     of phosphorus limitation within the water body.

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
          Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized
     below.  Lake surface area and mean depth were provided by
     the State of Louisiana; maximum depth was obtained from
     contour maps provided by the Louisiana Stream Control  Com-
     mission; tributary flow data were provided by the Louisiana
     District Office of the U,S. Geological Survey (USGS)(outlet
     drainage area includes the lake surface area).   Mean
     hydraulic retention time was obtained by dividing the  lake
     volume by mean flow of the outlet. Precipitation  values
     are estimated by methods as outlined in National Eutrophication
     Survey (NES) Working Paper No. 175.  A table of metric/English
     conversions is included as Appendix A.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Black Bayou Reservoir was sampled four 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 three stations on the lake
     and from one or more depths at each station (see map, page v).
     During each visit, depth-integrated samples were collected
     from each station for chlorophyll  a^ analysis  and phytoplankton
     identification and enumeration.  During the first and last visits,
     18.9-liter depth-integrated samples were composited for algal
     assays.  Maximum depths sampled were 1.8 meters at Station 01,
     2.4 meters at Station 02, and 1.5 meters at Station 03.  For a
     more detailed explanation of NES methods, see NES Working
     Paper No. 175.
          The results obtained are presented in full in Appendix C
     and are summarized in III-A for waters at the surface and at
     the maximum depth for each site.  Results of the. phytoplankton
     counts and chlorophyll a^ determinations are included in III-B.
     Results of the limiting nutrient study are presented in III-C.

2.   Discussion -
          The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum
     capricornuUun, indicates that the potential  for primary
     production in Black Bayou Reservoir was high at the
     time of spring assay sample collection.  Growth response
     with the addition of nitrogen as well  as the lack of
     response to the addition of phosphorus indicates nitro-
     gen limitation.  Maximum growth yield was achieved with
     the simultaneous addition of both phosphorus and nitro-
     gen.
          It should be noted that significant chemical
     changes took place in Louisiana lake samples between
     collection and algal assay.  The assay data  should be
     considered in this context and until such differences
     are resolved, used with caution for any prediction of
     actual  lake conditions.  Such chemical changes are
     likely to alter the control yield as well as modifying
     the N/P ratio.
          The autumn algal assay results have not been
     included as the substantial changes in nutrient
     levels  have removed their information  value.

-------
                         12
     The mean N/P ratios for Black Bayou Reservoir of 9/1
or less on all four sampling occasions suggest primary
limitation by nitrogen (an N/P ratio of 14/1  or greater
generally reflects phosphorus limitation).

-------
IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix D for data)
          For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  Louisiana
     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 February, March, and
     April when two samples were collected.   Sampling  was  begun
     in June 1974 and was completed in April  1975.
          Through an interagency agreement,  stream  flow  estimates
     for the year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year
     were provided by the Louisiana District Office of the USGS
     for the tributary sites nearest the  lake.
          In this report, nutrients loads for sampled  tributaries
     were determined by using a modification of  a USGS computer
     program for calculating stream loadings.  Nutrient  loads
     indicated for tributaries  are those  measured minus  known
     point source loads, if any.
          Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries and
     immediate drainage" ("ZZ"  of USGS) were estimated by  using the
                                         2
     mean annual  nutrient loads,  in kg/km /yr, for  Black Bayou,
     State Line Creek,  and Gray Branch, at Stations A-2, D-l,
     and E-l, respectively,  and multiplying  the  means  by the ZZ
     area in

          The nutrient levels in tributaries C-l  and F-l were
     in line with the measurements in the gaged streams entering
     Black Bayou Reservoir.  However, nutrient levels for Unnamed
     Stream, B-l, were excessively high.   This is probably
     attributable to the proximity of the tributary sampling
     station to the Vivian municipal sewage treatment plant
     outfall.

F.    Yearly Loadings:
          In the following table, the existing phosphorus  annual
     loading is compared to the relationship proposed by Vollenweider
     (1975).  Essentially, his "eutrophic" loading is that at  which
     the receiving waters would become eutrophic or remain eutrophic;
     his "oligotrophic" loading is that which would result in  the
     receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligotrophic
     if morphometry permitted.  A "mesotrophic" loading would  be
     considered one between "eutrophic" and "oligotrophic".
          Note that Vollenweider's model may not apply to  lakes with
     short hydraulic retention times or in which light penetration is
     severely restricted by high concentrations of suspended solids
     in the surface waters.
