                          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.

-------
     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.

I.   CONCLUSIONS
    A.   Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Blue Mesa Reservoir is  meso-
        eutrophic.   It ranked sixth in overall  trophic  quality when  the
        13 Colorado lakes and reservoirs  sampled in  1975 were compared
        using a combination of six  parameters*.   Three  of the water-
        bodies had less median total  phosphorus, four had less median
        dissolved  orthophosphorus,  none had less and six had  the  same
        median inorganic nitrogen,  seven  had less mean  chlorophyll a_,
        and three  had  greater mean  Secchi  disc  transparency.   Marked
        depression of  dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at sampling
        stations 4 and 5 in August  and at  stations 3 and 4 in September;
        and it is  reported  that some of the embayments  become anaerobic
        in the summer  (Wiltzius, 1977).
            Survey limnologists observed  clumps of algae at the surface
        near station 6 in September.
    B.   Rate-Limiting  Nutrient:
            Due to significant changes in  nutrients  in  the samples during
        shipment from  the field to  the laboratory, the  algal  assay re-
        sults are  not  considered representative of conditions in  the reser-
        voir at the times the samples were collected (08/26/75 and 09/29/75),
            The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation at all sam-
        pling stations and  times.
  See  Appendix  A.

                                 2
C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.   Point sources—The phosphorus  contributions  of known
    point sources accounted for 3.2% of the total  load  to  Blue  Mesa
    Reservoir during the sampling year.  The City  of Gunnison added
    2.8% of the total  load; the Tall  Texan Trailer Court,  0.3%; Lake
    City, 0.1%; and septic tanks serving shoreline dwellings and
    recreational  areas were estimated to have contributed  less  than
    0.1%.
        The present phosphorus loading of  2.66 g/m2/yr  is  more  than
    twice that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and  Dil-
    lon, 1974) as a eutrophic  loading (see page 13).  It is cal-
    culated that  even  complete removal  of  point-source  phosphorus
    would still leave  a loading in excess  of a eutrophic loading.
    However,  the  point-source  assessment is based  on  only  five
    Gunnison effluent  samples  (Appendix E) and estimated loads  for
    the other point sources, so the actual point-source  contributions
    may be greater than indicated (e.g., note that the apparent
    phosphorus contribution of the City of Gunnison was  only 0.5
    kg/capita/year).
        A need for a more-detailed study of point-source contributions
    is indicated.
        2.   Non-point  sources—It is  estimated that non-point sources
    including direct precipitation,  contributed 96.8% of the total
    phosphorus load to the reservoir  during the sampling year.

-------
The Gunnison River added 53.0% of the total; the Lake Fork
Gunnison River, 14.4%; Cebolla Creek, 7.5%; Willow Creek, 8.2%;
Soap Creek, 4.5%; and the ungaged minor tributaries and imme-
diate drainage contributed an estimated 8.5%.
    The phosphorus export rates of Soap and Willow creeks
were substantially higher than the rates of the other reser-
voir tributaries (see page 12).  The higher rates may have
been the result of insufficient sampling; i.e., only six
Soap Creek samples and three Willow Creek samples were col-
lected (Appendix E).

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Blue Mesa Reservoir was sampled two 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 six stations on the reservoir (see map,
  page v).  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 both 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 sam-
  pled were 57.9 meters at station 1, 53.3 meters at station 2, 47.2
  meters at station 3,  31.7 meters at station  4, 25.3 meters at station
  5,  and 12.5 meters at station 6.
      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 nutrients in the samples
    from the time of collection to the beginning of the assays, the
    results of the algal assays are not considered representative of
    conditions in the reservoir at the times the samples were taken
    (08/26/75 and 09/29/75).
        The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation at all sam-
    pling stations and times.  The mean inorganic nitrogen to ortho-
    phosphorus ratios were 10 to 1 or less, and nitrogen 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 at most of the
  sites.   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 tri-
  butary sites nearest the reservoir.
      In  this report,  nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were deter-
  mined by using a modification  of a U.S.  Geological Survey computer pro-
  gram 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/km2/year, at station C-l  and multiplying by  the II  area in km2.
      The operator of the Gunnison wastewater treatment plant provided
  monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow  data.   The operator
  of the  Tall  Texan Trailer Court plant could not  proyide flows,  and
  Lake City did  not not participate; nutrient loads  from these  sources
  were estimated at 1.134 P and  3.401  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.
