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

-------
                                m
     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
fresh water 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.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

     The staff of the National Eutrophication Survey (Office of
Research & Development, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the.Texas Water Quality Board
for professional involvement, to the Texas National Guard for
conducting the tributary sampling phase of the Survey, and to
those Texas wastewater treatment plant operators who voluntarily
provided effluent samples.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Whitney Reservoir is eutrophic;
        i.e., well supplied with nutrients and quite productive.  Whether
        nutrient enrichment is beneficial or deleterious depends on the
        actual or potential effect on the uses of the reservoir.  In this
        regard, no nuisance conditions are known to personnel of the
        Texas Water Quality Board and there is little or no impairment
        of the designated beneficial uses of this water body.
            Whitney Reservoir ranked fifteenth in overall  trophic quality
        when the 39 Texas reservoirs sampled in 1974 were compared using
        a combination of six water quality parameters*.  Fourteen of the
        reservoirs had less median total phosphorus, eight had less and
        two had the same median dissolved orthophosphorus, 18 had less
        and one had the same median inorganic nitrogen, 11 had less mean
        chlorophyll a_, and eight had greater mean Secchi disc transparency.
        Marked depression or depletion of hypolimnetic dissolved oxygen
        occurred at all sampling stations in May and August.
            Survey limnologists noted submerged vegetation in the shallows
        near stations 1 and 2 in August.  Reportedly, aquatic vegetation
        is not a problem in this reservoir, however (Anonymous,  1973).
* See Appendix A.

-------
B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
        The algal assay results are not considered representative of
    conditions in the reservoir at the time of sampling  due  to  sig-
    nificant nutrient changes in the sample during shipment  from the
    field to the laboratory.  The reservoir data  indicate  phosphorus
    limitation at all stations in March and May but nitrogen limitation
    at all but station 1  in November.
C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.  Point sources—During the sampling year,  point sources
    contributed 9.7% of the total phosphorus load to  Whitney Reservoir.
    The wastewater treatment plants at Cleburne contributed  an  estimated
    5.6%, the facility at Granbury contributed an estimated  2.2%, and
    three other facilities, along with septic tanks serving  shoreline
    dwellings, collectively contributed an estimated  1.9%.
        The present phosphorus loading of 1.24 g/m2/year is  1.9 times
    that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,  1974) as
    a eutrophic loading (see page 16), but even complete removal of
    phosphorus at the listed point sources would  leave a loading of
    1.12 g/m2/yr.  However, regardless of the applicability  of
    Vollenweider's eutrophic level to Texas water bodies,  Whitney
    Reservoir is phosphorus-limited much of the time,  and  point source
    phosphorus control could help slow the rate of eutrophication,
    particularly if a significant portion of the  phosphorus  export
    of the Nolan River proves to be controllable  (see below).

-------
    2.  Non-point sources—It is estimated that the phosphorus
contribution of non-point sources accounted for 90.3% of the  total
load impacting Whitney Reservoir.  The Brazos River contributed
56.2%, Nolan River contributed 31.2%,  and two other gaged tribu-
taries collectively contributed 0.5%.   Ungaged minor tributaries
and immediate drainage were estimated  to have contributed 1.0%.
    The phosphorus export rate of Nolan River was from 20 to  40
times greater than the rates of the other reservoir tributaries
(see page 15).  This is indicative of  an underestimation of the
contribution of the wastewater treatment plants at Cleburne.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Whitney Reservoir was sampled  four times  in  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 four
  stations  on the reservoir (see map,  page vi).  During each visit, a
  single depth-integrated (4.6 m to  surface)  sample was composited from
  the stations for phytoplankton identification  and enumeration; and
  during the first visit, a single 18.9-liter depth-integrated sample
  was composited for algal  assays.  Also each time,  a depth-integrated
  sample was collected from each of  the stations for chlorophyll a_
  analysis.   The maximum depths sampled were  30.2  meters at  station 1,
  22.3 meters at station 2, 21.9 meters at station 3, and  12.8 meters
  at  station 4.
      The sampling results  are presented in  full in Appendix D and are
  summarized in  the following  table  (the August  nutrient samples were
  not preserved  properly and were not analyzed).

C.  Limiting Nutrient Study:

        Due to significant nutrient changes in the samples  during

    shipment from the field to the laboratory, the algal  assays are

    not considered representative of conditions in the  reservoir at

    sampling time.  The reservoir data indicate that phosphorus was

    the limiting nutrient in  March and May; i.e.,  the mean  inorganic

    nitrogen/orthophosphorus  ratios were 18/1  or greater  at all

    stations.   However, nitrogen limitation is indicated  in November

    at stations 2, 3, and 4 (nearest the point sources),  and  phos-

    phorus limitation is indicated at station  1; i.e.,  the  mean

inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 12/1  or less
at stations 2, 3, and 4 and 15/1 at station 1.
    Nitrogen limitation, as indicated by in-lake nitrogen to
phosphorus ratios, does not necessarily mean that the trophic
condition of the lake can be improved by controlling nitrogen
inputs.  In many cases, the apparent condition of nitrogen-limi-
tation results from excessive phosphorus input from  point sources
and is often accompanied by a corresponding increase in primary
production.  In such cases, the reversal of the enriched condition
depends upon phosphorus control, not nitrogen control.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Texas  National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples  from each  of  the
 tributary sites indicated on the map (page vi),  except for the  months
 of April  and May when  two samples were collected.   Sampling  was begun
 in September,  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 Texas 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*.   Nutrient loads  shown are
 those measured minus point-source loads,  if any.
     Nutrient loads for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
 drainage" ("II" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using  the  means  of  the
 nutrient loads at stations B-l  and C-l, in kg/km2/year, and  multi-
 plying the means by the II area in km2.
     The operators of the Cleburne,  Granbury,  Glen  Rose, Blum, and
 Whitney wastewater treatment plants  did not participate in the  Survey;
 nutrient loads from these sources were estimated at 1.134  kg P  and
 3.401  kg N/capita/year,  and  flows were estimated at 0.3785 m3/capita/
 day.

F.   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.
