                               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.

pBJEmVES

     The Survey was designed to develop, in conjunction with state
srwlranmantal agencies, Information on nutrient sources, concen-
ts'at1<£?:st and impact on selected freshwater lakes as a basis for
•.•'ennui£t1 no comprehensive and coordinated national, regional,  and
state inshagernent practices relating to point source discharge
••aductlen and nonpoint source pollution abatement in lake water-
sheds.
     vha mathematical and statistical procedures selected for the
    ^rs eu*7T;phi cation analysis are based on related concepts
         A generalized representation or model relating
         soLsrsas, concentrations, and impacts can be
         cor.structacl.

         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
         re" a tec; nutrients*

         rfith such a transformationt an assessment of tha
         potential for eutrophication control can be made.
     Ir. this report, the first stags of evaluation of lake and
watershed data collected from the study lake and its drainage
bris-'n Is documented.  The report is formatted to provide state
arivlroniiienta! agsncies with specific information for basin
planning [§303(e)], water quality criteria/standards review
[§2Q3(e)1s clean lakes [§314(a,b)J, and water quality monitoring
;"§1U6 ar.d §305(b)] activities mandated by the Federal Water
PuT'utlon Control Act Amendments of 1972.

                                  111
     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

               REPORT ON LAKE HAVASU,  ARIZONA
                       STORE! NO. 0403

CONCLUSIONS
A.   Trophic Condition:*
          Survey data indicate that Lake Havasu is mesotrophic.
     Chlorophyll a_ values in the lake ranged from 1.0 yg/1  in
     February to 8.2 yg/1 in June, with a mean of 3.9 yg/1.
     Potential for primary production as measured by algal  assay
     control yields was low.  Lake water transparency was generally
     good during June sampling but low on the February and November
     sampling occasions.  Of the 11 Arizona lakes sampled in 1975,
     9 had higher median total phosphorus values (0.015 mg/1), 2 had
     higher median inorganic nitrogen levels (0.170 mg/1),  and 9 had
     higher median orthophosphorus values (0.005 mg/1) than Lake
     Havasu.
          Survey limnologists did not report any problem algal blooms
     or macrophyte growths during their visits to the lake.   Other
     sources (The Division of International Engineering Co., Inc.
     and Metcalf & Eddy Inc., 1976; Utah State University,  1975)
     indicate that salinity is the major water quality factor in the
     Colorado River basin, rather than nutrient-related problems.

*See Appendix E.

-------
B.   Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
          The algal assay results indicate that Lake Havasu was limited
     by available phosphorus  levels.   The lake data further suggest
     primary limitation by phosphorus in Lake Havasu throughout the
     sampling year.
C.   Nutrient Controllability:
     1.   Point sources -
               During the sampling year, the measured point sources
          directly impacting  Lake Havasu were calculated to contribute
          2.7% of the total phosphorus load.  The wastewater treatment
          plant at Needles contributed 2.5% and plants at Catfish Trailer
          Park and Cattail Cove State Park each contributed 0.1%.  The
          Division of International Engineering Co., Inc. and Metcalf
          & Eddy Inc. (1976)  report that the community of Lake Havasu
          also has several municipal  treatment facilities which divert
          their discharge waters into local irrigational use; how much,
          if any, of these discharges eventually reach Lake Havasu is
          not known at this time.
                                                           2
               The present phosphorus loading of 3.64 g P/m /yr is almost
          twice that proposed by Vollenweider (1975) as "eutrophic" for
          a lake with such volume and hydraulic retention time.  The
          combination of a mesotrophic condition and high phosphorus
          loading is possible because Vollenweider's model probably is

-------
     not applicable to lakes in which epilimnetic light penetration
     is substantially reduced by the presence of suspended sediments
     in the surface waters, as in Lake Havasu during spring and
     fall.   In any case, the future addition of point source con-
     tributions should be carefully evaluated as to their effect
     on the existing water quality of Lake Havasu.
2.   Nonpoint sources -
          Nonpoint sources, including precipitation, contributed
     97.3% of the total phosphorus input during the year to Lake
     Havasu.  The Colorado River contributed 96.6% and ungaged
     tributaries contributed an estimated 0.2%.
          The phosphorus export rates of the tributaries flowing
     into Lake Havasu (Section IV-D) are equal to the Colorado River
     export of upstream Lake Mohave*.

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
          Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized below.
     Lake morphometry data were provided by Ned Rathbun (1974); average
     surface area and average volume are indicated.   Tributary flow
     data were provided by the Arizona 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  National  Eutrophi-
     cation Survey (NES) Working Paper No.  175.  A table of metric/English
     conversions is included as Appendix A.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          take Havasu was sampled three times during the open-water
     season cf 1975 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter.  Each
     t'irrie, samples for physical and chemical  parameters were collected
     from eleven stations on the lake and from one or more depths at each
     staticn (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
     fur algal assays.  Maximum depths sampled were as  follows:

2.    Discussion -
          The control  yields of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-
     cornutum*, indicate that the potential  for  primary  productivity  in
     Lake Havasu was low at both sample collection times (02/27/75,
     11/19/75).  The addition of phosphorus  alone produced an  increase
     in yield over that of the control  at Stations 01-04 in February  and
     at Stations 01-09 in November, indicating phosphorus limitation.
     Spikes of nitrogen alone did not stimulate  growth beyond  the control
     yields in these assays.
          The February assays for Station 07-11  are not  considered  re-
     liable because of a significant change  in the nutrient levels
     between the time the samples were collected and the assays  were
     begun, so are not included in this report.
          The inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios (N/P) in the
     lake were approximately 20/1, 17/1, and 41/1 in the spring, summer,
     and fall, respectively, suggesting primary  limitation by  phosphorus
     (a mean N/P ratio of 14/1 or greater generally reflects phosphorus
     limitation).
     *For further information regarding the algal  assay test
      procedure and selection of test organisms,  see U.S.  EPA
      (1971).

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix D for data)
          For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Arizona  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 April  and May when two samples were collected.   Samp-
     ling was begun in December 1974, and was completed in November 1975.
          Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates  for the
     year of sampling and a  "normalized" or average  year were provided by
     the Arizona District Office of the USGS for the tributary 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 tributaries
     are those measured minus known point source loads, if any.
          Nutrient loadings  for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
     drainage" ("II" of USGS) were estimated by using  the mean annual con-
     centrations in Gene Wash,  the Colorado River Aqueduct and Bill Williams
     River at Stations B-l,  C-l and E-l and mean annual II flow.
          The operators of the  Catfish Trailer Park  and Needles wastewater
     treatment plants provided  a number of effluent  samples and corres-
     ponding flow data.  Nutrient loads for Cattail  Cove State Park were
     calculated from provided monthly chemistry data and estimated flows.

F.   Yearly Loadings:
          In the following table, the existing phosphorus 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.

                             Total Yearly
                          Phosphorus Loading
                               (g/m2/yr)
     Estimated loading for Lake Havasu                           3.64
     Vollenweider's "eutrophic" loading                          1.94
     Vollenweider's "oligotrophic" loading                       0.97

                              APPENDIX E

                     PARAMETRIC RANKINGS OF LAKES
                        SAMPLED BY NES IN 1975

                           STATE OF ARIZONA
     Mean or median values for six of the key parameters evaluated
in establishing the trophic conditions of Arizona lakes  sampled
are presented to allow direct comparison of the ranking, by parameter,
of each lake relative to the others.   Median total  phosphorus, median
Inorganic nitrogen and median dissolved orthophosphorus  levels are
expressed in mg/1. Chlorophyll a^ values are expressed in yg/1.
To maintain consistent rank order with the preceding parameters,
the mean Secchi disc depth, in Inches, is subtracted from 500.
Similarly, minimum dissolved oxygen values are subtracted from 15
to create table entries.
