                          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)j,  water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)L 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.

-------
                                 Ill
    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 Nebraska Department of
Environmental Control for professional involvement, to the
Nebraska National Guard for conducting the tributary sampling
phase of the Survey, and to those wastewater treatment plant
operators who voluntarily provided effluent samples and flow
data.

    The staff of the Water Pollution Control Division, Department
of Environmental Control, provided invaluable lake documentation
and counsel during the Survey, reviewed the preliminary reports,
and provided critiques most useful in the preparation of this Working
Paper series.

    Major General Francis L. Winner, the Adjutant General of Nebraska,
and Project Officer Colonel Burl M. Johnson, who directed the volun-
teer efforts of the Nebraska National Guardsmen, are also gratefully
acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate Johnson Reservoir is  eutrophic.   It
        ranked eighth in overall trophic quality when  the nine  Nebraska
        water bodies sampled in 1974 were compared using a combination of
        six parameters*.  Seven of the water bodies had less median total
        phosphorus, one had less median  dissolved phosphorus, five had
        less median inorganic nitrogen,  seven had less mean chlorophyll
        a_, and all of the other water bodies had greater mean Secchi
        disc transparency.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results show that Johnson  Reservoir was phos-
        phorus limited at the times the  samples were collected  (March
        and September, 1974).  The reservoir data also indicate phosphorus
        limitation.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—No known  municipal  point sources impacted
        Johnson Reservoir during the sampling year; however, septic tanks
        serving shoreline dwellings were estimated to  have contributed 0.2%
        of the total phosphorus load to  the reservoir.
* See Appendix A.

-------
                             2
    The present phosphorus loading of 6.72 g/m2/yr is nearly
four times that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and
Dillon, 1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 11).
    2.  Non-point sources—The Tri County Supply Canal contrib-
uted an estimated 99.5% of the total phosphorus loading to
Johnson Reservoir during the sampling year.
    The drainage area (watershed) of Johnson Reservoir is shown
as 0.0 km2 because it is an off-channel  pumped-storage reser-
voir used primarily for power production, irrigation, and recre-
ation.  Irrigation return flows probably would be high in nutri-
ents, and any significant reduction of the phosphorus input to
Johnson Lake would involve removal of phosphorus in  these flows.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Johnson 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 one station on the  reservoir (see  map,
  page v).   During each visit,  a single depth-integrated  (4.6 m to
  surface)  sample was collected for phytoplankton  identification
  and enumeration; and a similar sample was collected for chlorophyll

    2.  Discussion -
            The control  yield of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-
        cornutum, indicates that the potential  primary productivity
        of Johnson Lake was high at the time the  first assay sample
        was collected (04/16/74) but was moderate at the  time the
        second sample was taken (09/30/74).
            The algal assay results also show that Johnson  Lake
        was phosphorus limited at both  sampling times.  The addition
        of orthophosphorus alone or in  combination with nitrogen
        resulted in significantly increased yields while  the addition
        of nitrogen alone did not.
            The mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios also
        are indicative of phosphorus limitation;  i.e.,  the  N/P
        ratios were 60/1 in April  and 14/1  in September.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Nebraska 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 June and August when two samples  were collected.  Sampling was
 begun in August, 1974,  and was  completed in August, 1975.
     Through an interagency agreement,  stream flow  estimates for the
 year of sampling and a  "normalized"  or average year were provided by
 the Nebraska 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*.

D.   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.

     hydraulic  retention time of Johnson  Reservoir:

        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic  loading)          0.85
