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, 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
planning [§303(e)], water quality criteria/standards review
[§303(cj], 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 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 augment plans implementation by the states.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The staff of the National Eutrophication Survey (Office of
Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the Oklahoma Department of
Pollution Control for professional involvement, to the Oklahoma
National Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the
Survey, and to those Oklahoma wastewater treatment plant operators
who provided effluent samples and flow data.
Dr. Denver Talley, Director, Oklahoma Department of Pollution
Control; the staff of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board; and the
staff of the Oklahoma State Department of Health reviewed the pre-
liminary reports and provided critiques most useful in the prepara-
tion of this Working Paper Series.
Major General John Coffey, Jr., the Adjutant General of
Oklahoma, and Project Officers Colonel Curtis W. Milligan and
Major James 0. Haney, Jr., who directed the volunteer efforts of

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:*
On the basis of field observations and Survey data,
Lake Frances is considered eutrophic, i.e., nutrient rich
and highly productive. Whether such nutrient enrichment
is to be considered beneficial or deleterious is deter-
mined by its actual or potential impact upon designated
beneficial water uses of each lake.
Potential for primary production as measured by algal
assay control yield was extremely high in this turbid lake
on both sampling occasions. Chlorophyll a^values ranged
from 0.1 yg/1 to 17.6 yg/1 with a mean of 8.0 yg/1. Of
the 16 Oklahoma lakes (including Texoma Lake) sampled in
1974, none had higher median total phosphorus or inorganic
nitrogen levels than Lake Frances, and only 1 had higher
median orthophosphorus values.
Survey limnologists reported abundant emergent vege-
tation in the southern portion of the lake and a strong
sewage odor during July sampling.
*See Appendix E.
-------
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
Algal assay results suggest that Lake Frances was limited
by available phosphorus levels in the spring, and by some un-
determined minor nutrient in the fall as a result of the ex-
tremely high levels of available phosphorus and nitrogen in
the lake.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources -
The mean annual phosphorus load from point sources iden-
tified within 40 stream-km (25 miles) of Lake .Frances was
estimated to be 0.7% of the total phosphorus load. The
city of Lincoln contributed the entire fraction.
The present overall phosphorus loading of 36.70 g
p/m2/yr is about 14 times that proposed by Vollenweider
(1975) as "eutrophic" for lakes with such volume and
hydraulic retention time. Vollenweider's model may not
be applicable for lakes with short hydraulic retention
times (3 days for Lake Frances), or in which epilimnetic
light penetration is severely reduced by the presence of
suspended sediments in the surface waters; nevertheless,
the lake is obviously eutrophic and phosphorus loading
would have to be substantially reduced to produce any
water quality improvement in the lake.
-------
2. Nonpoint sources -
The mean annual phosphorus load not attributable to
nearby point sources was 99.3% of the total reaching the
lake. The Illinois River contributed 89.2%, and ungaged
drainage areas were estimated to contribute 10.0%.
The high loading rate of the Illinois River, as it
enters Lake Frances, is partly due to unmeasured discharges
upstream rather than nonpoint contributions. Waste sources
not contained in the National Eutrophication Survey (NES)
sampling of Lake Frances, due to their distance from the
reservoir, include the cities of Springdale, Rogers, and
Prairie Grove (EPA, 1971). Additional studies to determine
the impact of these contributions on Lake Frances are needed
before a nutrient budget for the lake can be defined.
-------
II. LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized below.
Lake morphometry data were provided by the Oklahoma Water
Resources Board. Tributary flow data were provided by the
Oklahoma 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 NES Working Paper No. 175. A table
of metric/English conversions is included as Appendix A.
A. Lake Morphometry:
1. Surface area: 2.31 km2.
2. Mean depth: 1.8 meters.
3. Maximum depth: 9.8 meters.
4. Volume: 4.158 x 106 m3.
5. Mean hydraulic retention time: 3 days.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Lake Frances 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 three stations on the lake (Station 01 was sam-
pled once, Station 03 was sampled twice) 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 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 0.6 meters at Station 01, 0.9 meters
at Station 02, and 1.2 meters at Station 03. For a more de-
tailed 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 yields of the assay alga, Selenastrum
capricornutum, indicate that the potential primary pro-
ductivity of Lake Frances was extremely high at both times
samples were collected (04/03/74, 10/18/74). Chlorophyll
a^ levels in the lake did not reflect the magnitude of this
potential. Light extinction - not a factor under assay
test conditions - is most likely limiting the phytoplankton
standing crop in Lake Frances.
In the spring assay, increases in yield with the addi-
tion of phosphorus alone or nitrogen and phosphorus simul-
taneously suggest phosphorus is the primary limiting nutrient
-------
11
in the lake. In fall, however, none of the nutrient additions
resulted in a yield significantly greater than that of the
control. Due to the high concentrations of available phos-
phorus and nitrogen in Lake Frances, it is not unlikely that
some minor nutrient has reached the critical minimum required
for lake productivity and become the limiting factor.
Mean inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus (N/P) ratios
in the lake data were 13/1, 21/1, and 14/1 in the spring,
summer, and fall, respectively. However, further investi-
gation is necessary before a definite determination of
nutrient limitation in Lake Frances can be made.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix D for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Oklahoma
National Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples from
each of the tributary sites indicated on the map (page v), ex-
cept for the high runoff months of April and May when two samples
were collected. Sampling was begun in November 1974, and was
completed in October 1975.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for
the year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were pro-
vided by the Oklahoma 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 a USGS computer program for
calculating stream loadings. Nutrient loads indicated for tribu-
taries are those measured minus known point source loads, if any.
Nutrient loadings for unsampled "minor tributaries and imme-
diate drainage" ("ZZ" of USGS) were estimated by using the mean
annual nutrient concentrations in Ballard Creek at Station B-l and
mean annual ZZ flow.
Nutrient loads for the city of Lincoln wastewater treatment
plant were estimated at 1.134 kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/yr.

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 be applicable to water
bodies with very short retention times or in which light penetration
is severely restricted from high concentrations of suspended solids
in the surface waters.
