                               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.

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.

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.
