                               FOREWORD
     The National Eutrophicafion 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,  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 Take 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,bj], and water quality monitoring
[§106 and §305(b>] activities mandated by the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

-------
                                   Ill
   ,  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, multlvariate 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 augment plans implementation by the states.

I.    CONCLUSIONS
     A.    Trophic  Condition:*
               Survey data  indicate Indian Creek Reservoir  is  eutrophic,
          i.e., nutrient 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.
               Chlorophyll  a_ levels ranged from  5.7  yg/1 in the  spring
          to 63.8  yg/1  in the summer with a  mean of  21.5 yg/1.   Secchi
          disc visibility and potential for  primary  production as mea-
          sured by algal assay control  yield was low.   Of the  19 Louisiana
          lakes sampled by  National Eutrophication Survey (NES)  in  1974,
          16 had higher median total  phosphorus  levels, 12  had higher
          median dissolved  orthophosphorus values, but only 5  had higher
          median inorganic  nitrogen levels than  Indian Creek Reservoir.
               Survey limnologists  did  not observe any concentrations
          of algae but did  note abundant  macrophytes  in the shallows
          along coves and among the dead  submerged trees near  shore.
          Near-depletion of dissolved oxygen occurred  in the hypolimnion
          at all stations in May.


     *See  Appendix E.

-------
B.   Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
               Algal assay results indicate that Indian Creek Reservoir
     is limited by available phosphorus.  Spikes with phosphorus or
     phosphorus and nitrogen simultaneously resulted in increased as-
     say yields.  The addition of nitrogen alone did not produce a
     growth response.  The lake ratios of total  available inorganic
     nitrogen to orthophosphorus (N/P) substantiate those results for the
     spring and summer sampling seasons, but indicate nitrogen limi-
     tation for the fall sampling season.
C.   Nutrient Controllability:
     1.   Point sources -
               There are no known point sources  impacting Indian Creek
          Reservoir.  The phosphorus loading of  0.06 g P/m^/yr is less
          than the "oligotrophic" level established by Vollenweider
          (1975) for a lake with such mean depth and detention time.
          However, loading calculations yield an apparent net export of
          phosphorus from the lake.   This could  be due to unknown and
          unmeasured point sources discharging directly to the lake, to
          insufficient sampling or to underestimation of the phosphorus
          load from septic tanks.  Additional sampling is needed before
          an actual nutrient budget for Indian Creek Reservoir can be
          determined.  However, regardless of the primary nutrient limi-
          tation suggested by either algal assay or nutrient ratios, the

-------
     most feasible approach to nutrient control,  if desirable,  is
     through available phosphorus control  technology.
2.    Nonpoint sources -
          The phosphorus exports of nonpoint sources accounted  for the
     entire phosphorus load to Indian Creek Reservoir during  the sampling
     year.  Indian Creek contributed 21.6% of the load,  and ungaged
     tributaries were estimated to account for 49.6% of  the total.   The
                                          2
     Indian Creek export rate of 8 kg P/km /yr is somewhat lower than
     the rates of other streams in this area.

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS

          Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized  below.

     Lake morphometry data were provided by the State of Louisiana.

     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 the mean  flow

     of the outlet.  Precipitation  values are estimated  by methods as

     outlined in NES Working Paper  No. 175.  A table of  metric/English

     conversions is included as Appendix A.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Indian Creek 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 para-
     meters were collected from three stations on  the lake and from
     a number of depths at each station (see map,  page v).   During
     each visit, depth-integrated samples were collected  from  each
     station for chlorophyll ^analysis and phytoplankton identifi-
     cation and enumeration.  During the first and last visits,  18.9-
     liter depth-integrated samples were composited for algal  assays.
     Maximum depths sampled were 4.6 meters at Station 01,  4.6 meters
     at Station 02, and 6.1 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 maxi-
     mum depth for each site.  Results of the phytoplankton counts and
     chlorophyll ^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 capri-
     cornutum, indicates that the potential  for primary productivity
     was low in Indian Creek Reservoir during the spring sampling season
     and moderate during the fall.  The lake was phosphorus limited at
     those times, as indicated by increased  yields of the test alga in
     response to additions of orthophosphorus.  Spikes with phosphorus
     and nitrogen simultaneously resulted in maximum yields.   In both
     assays, spikes with nitrogen alone did  not produce any responses
     beyond the control yields.
          The N/P in the spring and summer lake data was 17/1  indicating
     phosphorus limitation.  The ratio for the fall  data was  13/1 sug-
     gesting that nitrogen and phosphorus were colimiting.
          It should be noted that significant chemical changes took
     place in Louisiana lake samples between collection and assay analy-
     sis. 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.

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 March and April (also February  for
     Station 2213A1) when two samples were collected.   Sampling  was
     begun in June 1974, and was completed in May .1975.
          Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates  for
     the year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were  pro-
     vided by the Louisiana District Office of the USGS for the  tribu-
     tary sites nearest the lake.
          In this report., nutrient loads for sampled  tributaries were
     determined by using a modification of the 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 im-
     mediate drainage" ("II" of USGS)  were estimated  by using the  mean
     annual  nutrient loads, in kg/km2/yr in Indian Creek A-l  and multi-
     plying  the means by the II area in km2.

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 remaing 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.
