                               FOREWORD
     The National  EutropMcatlon Survey was  Initiated  1n  1972  1n
response to an Administration commitment to  Investigate the  nation-
wide threat of accelerated eutrophicatlon to freshwater lakes  and
reservoirs.

OBJECTIVES

     The Survey was designed to develop, in  conjunction with state
environmental  agencies, Information on nutrient sources,  concen-
trations, 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 nonpolnt source pollution abatement  1n lake water-
sheds.                       ,

ANALYTIC APPROACH

     The mathematical and statistical  procedures selected for  the
Survey's eutrophicatlon 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 eutrophicatlon control can be  made.

LAKE ANALYSIS

     In this report, the first stage of evaluation of  lake and
watershed data collected from the study lake and Its drainage
basin is documented.  The report 1s formatted to provide  state
environmental agencies with specific Information for basin
E Tanning [§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 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.

I.    CONCLUSIONS
     A.    Trophic Condition:*
               Based on field observations  and  Survey  data,  Payette  Lake
          is considered early mesotrophic.   Chlorophyll  a_ values  ranged
          from 1.4 yg/1 to 13.8 yg/1  with a  mean  of 4.6  yg/1.   Potential
          for primary productivity  as measured  by algal  assay  control
          yield was low.   Of  the 13 Idaho lakes sampled  in 1975,  10  had
          greater median total  phosphorus,  6 had  greater median inorganic
          nitrogen, and 8 had greater median orthophosphorus levels  than
          Payette Lake.
               Survey limnologists  did  not  note any problem conditions
          during their visits to the lake.   However, the Idaho Environmental
          Overview (Idaho Department of Water Resources, et al. 1975)
          reports pollutants  in the reservoir attributable to  discharge
          from septic tanks and a lumber mill  located  near the lake.
     *See Appendix E.

-------
B.    Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
          Algal  assay results indicate that Payette Lake was  limited
     by available phosphorus  levels.   Spikes with  phosphorus,  or nitrogen
     and phosphorus simultaneously resulted in increased assay yields.
     Addition of nitrogen alone did not stimulate  a growth response.
     Lake data indicate phosphorus to be limiting  primary production  on
     one of the sampling dates (09/16/75) whereas  nitrogen appears to
     be limiting on the other two sampling occasions.
C.    Nutrient Controllability:
     1.   Point sources -
               There were no  known point sources impacting Payette Lake
          during the sampling year.  Septic tanks  were estimated to
          account for 0.4% of the phosphorus input.  However,  the Idaho
          Department of Highways map used for the  septic tank determination
          did not show individual residences, and  Survey limnologists
          reported more homes surrounding the lake than were  estimated
          using this map.  These uncounted additional  residences could
          substantially increase the calculated phosphorus loading to
          Payette Lake,
                                                          2
               The present estimated loading of 0.19 g P/m /yr is less
          than that proposed  by Vollenweider (1975) as an "oligotrophic"
          loading (See Section IV-F).  Although the actual phosphorus
          loading to the lake is probably greater  than estimated, the

-------
     fact remains that water quality in Payette Lake is high,  and
     any potential sources of pollution should be evaluated carefully
     in order to maintain the excellent condition of the lake.
2.   Nonpoint sources -
          Gaged tributaries accounted for 70.3% of the total  phosphorus
     load reaching Payette Lake during the sampling year.   The
     estimated phosphorus load from ungaged drainage areas was
     20.3% of the total load.
          The phosphorus export rates of the two gaged tributaries
     impacting Payette Lake (Section IV-D) are substantially lower
     than those found in tributaries draining into downstream
                                              2
     Cascade Reservoir (range of 20-31 kg P/km /yr, mean of 25 kg
     P/km2/yr).*

II.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS

          Lake and drainage basin characteristics  are itemized below.

     Lake surface area, mean depth and volume were provided by Herman  Ray

     (personal communication).   Tributary flow data were provided by the

     Idaho 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  Eutrophication Survey (NES) Working Paper No. 175.  A

     table of metric/English conversions is included as Appendix A.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Payette Lake 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
     three stations on the  lake and from a number of depths at  each  station
     (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 for  algal  assays.
     Maximum depths sampled were 53.3 meters  at Station  01, 53.3 meters at
     Station 02, and 33.5 meters at Station 03.   For a more detailed
     explanation of NES methods, see NES Working  Paper No.  175.
          The results obtained are presented  in full in  Appendix C  and  are
     summarized in III-A for waters at the surface and at the maximum
     depth for each site.  Results of the phytoplankton  counts  and  chloro-
     phyll a^ determinations are included in III-B.  Results of  the  limiting
     nutrient study are presented in III-C.

2.    Discussion -
          The control  yields of the assay alga,  Selenastrum  capri-
     cornutum, indicate that potential  for primary  production  in  Payette
     Lake was low at both sample collection times  (06/04/75, 09/16/75).
     The addition of phosphate produced an increase in yield over that
     of the control, indicating phosphorus limitation.   Spikes with
     nitrogen and phosphorus simultaneously resulted in  maximum yield
     while the addition of nitrogen alone did  not stimulate growth beyond
     the control  yield.
          Lake data show mean N/P ratios of approximately  6/1  and 7/1 on
     the first and second sampling dates, respectively,  indicating
     nitrogen limitation.   On the third sampling date, the N/P ratio
     was 18/1 indicating phosphorus limitation (an  N/P ratios  of  14/1 or
     greater is generally considered indicative  of  phosphorus  limitation).

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix  D  for  data)
          For the determination  of  nutrient  loadings, the  Idaho 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 June  and July when two samples were collected.  Samp-
     ling was begun in  October 1974, and was completed in September 1975.
          Through an  interagency agreement,  stream flow estimates for the
     year of sampling and a "normalized" or  average year were provided by
     the Idaho 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" ("11"  of USGS) were  estimated by using the mean annual
                             2
     nutrient loads,  in kg/km /yr,  in North  Fork Payette River and Horse
     Creek at Stations  A-2  and B-l  and multiplying the means by the 11
               2
     area in km .

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
     "mesdtrophic" 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 Payette Lake                          0.19
     Vollenweider's "eutrophic" loading                          0.74

                   PARAMETRIC RANKINGS OF LAKES
                      SAMPLED BY NES IN 1975

                          STATE OF IDAHO
     Mean or median values for six of the key parameters  evaluated
in establishing the trophic conditions of Idaho 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.
