                          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.

-------
                                 111
     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 Colorado Department of
Health for professional involvement, to the Colorado National
Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the Survey,
and to those wastewater treatment plant operators who voluntarily
provided effluent samples.

     The staff of the Water Quality Control  Division provided
invaluable lake documentation and counsel during the Survey,
reviewed the preliminary reports, and provided critiques most
useful in the preparation of this Working Paper series.

     Lt. Colonel Paul A. Parsons, the Deputy Adjutant General of
Colorado, and Project Officer Colonel Hershel C. Yeargan, who
directed the volunteer efforts of the Colorado National Guardsmen,
are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

 I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Barker Reservoir is mesotrophic.
        It ranked fifth in overall trophic quality when the 13 Colorado
        lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared using a com-
        bination of six water quality parameters*.  Five of the water
        bodies had less median total phosphorus and dissolved orthophos-
        phorus, seven had less median inorganic nitrogen, three had less
        mean chlorophyll a_, and four had greater mean Secchi disc trans-
        parency.  No significant depression of dissolved oxygen occurred
        at depths as great as 36.6 meters.
            Survey limnologists did not observe macrophytes or surface
        concentrations of algae during sampling visits.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results are not considered representative of
        conditions in the reservoir at the time samples were taken due
        to significant changes in nutrient concentrations during shipment
        from the field to the laboratory.  The reservoir data indicate
        nitrogen limitation at all sampling stations and times with the
        exception of station 2 in May.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—The wastewater treatment plant at Nederland,
* See Appendix A.

the only known point source, contributed 45.3% of the total
phosphorus load to Barker Reservoir during the sampling year.
    The present phosphorus loading of 0.59 g/m2/year is more
than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as an oligotrophic loading but less than his suggested
eutrophic loading; i.e., a mesotrophic loading (see page 11).
Any reduction of the point-source phosphorus load would be
considered a measure to protect the existing quality of Barker
Reservoir.
    2.   Non-point sources--Non-point sources contributed 54.7%
of the total phosphorus input during the sampling year.  Middle
Boulder Creek contributed 49.7%, and the ungaged minor tributaries
and immediate drainage contributed an estimated 2.0%.
    The phosphorus export rate of Middle Boulder Creek was a
relatively low 5 kg/km2 during the sampling year (see page 10);
the mean of the exports of the other 26 Colorado gaged and
sampled tributaries was 12 kg/km 2/yr.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Barker Reservoir was sampled three times during the open-water
  season of 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  a^
  analysis.   The maximum depths sampled were 36.6 meters at station
  1 and  7.9 meters at station 2.
      The sampling results are presented in  full  in Appendix D and
  are summarized in the following table.

C.  Limiting Nutrient Study:
        Due to significant changes in nutrient levels in the samples
    during shipment from the field to the laboratory, the assay results
    are not considered representative of conditions in the reservoir  at
    the time the samples were collected (05/07/75 and 10/10/75).   The
    reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation at station 1  and  phos-
    phorus limitation at station 2 in May; i.e., the mean inorganic
    nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 13/1  and 19/1, respectively.
    At the other sampling times, the data indicate nitrogen limitation
    (the mean N/P ratios were 13/1 or less at  both stations, and  nitro-
    gen limitation would be expected).

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the  Colorado  National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab  samples  from each of the
 tributary sites indicated on the map (page v), except  for the months
 of June and August 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 Colorado District Office of the  U.S. Geological  Survey for the
 tributary sites nearest the lake.
     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  nutrient loads,
 in  kg/km 2/year, at station A-2 (Nederland  wastewater treatment plant
 load subtracted) and multiplying the means by the  ZZ area in  km2.
     The operator of the Nederland wastewater treatment  plant  provided
 monthly effluent samples  and corresponding flow data.

E.   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.
