                          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 [§3Q3(e)],  water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)]»  clean lakes [§314(a,b)]5
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)"j activities mandated
by the Federal  Water Pollution Control  Act Amendments of 1972.

-------
     Beyond the single lake analysis, broader based correlations
between nutrient concentration (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 California State Water
Resources Control Board and the nine Regional Water Quality
Control Boards for professional involvement, to the California
National Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of
the Survey, and to those California wastewater treatment plant
operators who voluntarily provided effluent samples and flow
data.

     The staff of the Division of Planning and Research of the
State Water Resources Control Board provided invaluable lake
documentation and counsel during the Survey, coordinated the
reviews of the preliminary reports, and provided critiques
most useful in the preparation of this Working Paper series.

     Major General Glen C. Ames, the Adjutant General  of Cali-
fornia, and Project Officer Second Lieutenant Terry L.  Barrie,
who directed the volunteer efforts of the California National
Guardsmen, are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance
to the Survey.

 I.   INTRODUCTION
     Because of lack of flows,  only one sample was  taken  from  each of
 the two gaged inlet tributaries during the  sampling year (stations  E-l
 and F-l;  see map,  page v).   Therefore, this report relates only  to  the
 reservoir sampling data.
     The outlet data,  the  limited  inlet sampling  data, and the flow
 data are  included  in  the  appendices  for the record.
II.   CONCLUSIONS
     A.   Trophic Condition*:
             Survey data indicate  that  Lower Otay Reservoir is eutrophic.
         It ranked  twenty-second in overall  trophic quality when  the
         24 California lakes and reservoirs  sampled in 1975 were  com-
         pared using a combination of six parameters**.   Eighteen of the
         lakes had  less median  total  phosphorus,  12 had less and  one
         had the same  median dissolved  orthophosphorus, 20 had less
         median inorganic  nitrogen and  mean  chlorophyll a_, and 18 had
         greater mean  Secchi  disc  transparency.   Significant depression
         of dissolved  oxygen with  depth occurred  at sampling station 1
         in March and  June.   Destratification equipment (aeration) has been
         installed  in  this reservoir  (Bailey, 1977).
             Survey limnologists noted  surface algal scums and extensive
         beds of submerged macrophytes  in the reservoir in June.  Copper
 * Trophic assessment is  based on  the levels  of  nutrients,  dissolved oxygen,
   and chlorophyll  a_; the phytoplankton  kinds and  numbers;  and  transparency
   (Allurn et a].,  1977).

    sulfate has been applied to the reservoir occasionally  for  the
    control of algae (Bailey, op.-cit.).
B.   Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
        The algal assay results are not considered  representative
    of conditions in the reservoir at the times  of  sampling (03/07/75
    and 11/14/75).   The reservoir data indicate  phosphorus  limitation
    at both stations in March,  nitrogen limitation  at  both  stations
    in June, and phosphorus  limitation at station 1  but  nitrogen
    limitation at station 2  in  November.

IV.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY



     Lower Otay Reservoir was sampled three times  in  1975 by means



 of  a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter.  Each time, samples  for physical



 and chemical  parameters were collected from a number of depths at



 two stations  on the reservoir (see map,  page v).   During each visit,



 a single depth-integrated (4.6 m or near bottom to surface)  sample



 was composited from the stations for phytoplankton identification



 and enumeration;  and during the first and last visits,  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  ^analysis.   The maximum depths sampled



 were 11.6 meters  at station 1  and 6.4 meters at station 2.



     The sampling  results are presented in full in Appendix  C and



 are summarized in the following table.

C.   Limiting Nutrient Study:
        Significant nutrient  changes occurred  in  the  algal  assay
    samples between the times of collection  and the beginning  of
    the assays, and the results are not considered  representative
    of conditions in the reservoir at the times the samples were
    taken (03/07/75 and 11/14/75).
        The reservoir data indicate phosphorus limitation  at both
    stations in March (the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus
    ratios were 15/1 and 18/1  at stations 1  and 2,  respectively),
    nitrogen limitation at both stations in  June  (N/P ratios were
    4/1 and 10/1), and phosphorus limitation at station  1  (N/P =
    20/1) but nitrogen limitation at station 2 (N/P = 7/1)  in
    November.
