                          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.

-------
                                iii
     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

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Georgetown Lake is  eutrophic.   It
        ranked ninth in overall  trophic quality when  the  15  Montana  lakes
        and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared  using a combination
        of six parameters*.   Eight of the water bodies had less  and  one
        had the same median  total phosphorus,  ten had less median dis-
        solved orthophosphorus,  none had less  but four had the same  median
        inorganic nitrogen,  12 had less mean chlorophyll  a_,  and  seven had
        greater mean Secchi  disc transparency.   Some  depression  of dis-
        solved oxygen with depth occurred at stations 1 and  3 in July.
            The Montana Department of Fish and  Game reports  that extensive
        growths of aquatic  vegetation occur in  the lake (Whitney, 1972).
        Fish kills occasionally occur due to oxygen depletion during periods
        of ice cover (Ketelle and Uttormark, 1971).
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay  results indicate that Georgetown Lake was
        nitrogen limited at  the time the sample was collected (07/29/75).
            The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation at all three  sta-
        tions in July and at two of the three  stations in September.

C.   Nutrient Controllability:
        1.   Point sources—No  known municipal or  industrial waste-
    water treatment plants impacted Georgetown  Lake during the sam-
    pling year.
        Septic tanks serving lakeshore  dwellings, camps, and a park
    are estimated to have added 7% of the  measurable  phosphorus
    load to the lake,  but a shoreline survey would be necessary to
    determine the actual  contributions  of  those sources.  However, in
    terms of fishing pressure  per hectare,  Georgetown Lake is the most
    heavily used of all  Montana lakes (Whitney, op. cit.), and septic
    tank loads may be of greater significance than is estimated.
        During the sampling year,  the phosphorus  loading to the lake
    from measurable sources amounted to only 18%  of that proposed by
    Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,  1974)  as a eutrophic loading
    (see page 11).   However, the trophic condition of the lake indicates
    the actual loading probably is at or near a eutrophic loading (i.e.,
    about 4,250 kg/yr).   If so,  the load contributed  by the submarine
    springs must be substantial.
        2.   Non-point sources--It is estimated  that non-point sources
    contributed  93% of the measurable phosphorus  load during the sam-
    pling year.   The North Fork of Flint Creek  contributed about 12%,
    and the ungaged minor tributaries and  immediate drainage contributed
    an estimated 55.8%.   However,  as noted  above, the submarine springs
    probably are the most significant non-point source.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Georgetown Lake 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  three stations on the  lake  (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  in  July, 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 9.4
  meters at station 1, 5.5 meters  at station 2, and 4.6 meters at  sta-
  tion 3.
      The sampling results are presented  in  full  in Appendix D and
  are summarized in the  following  table.

2.  Discussion -
        The control  yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum capri-
    cornutum,  indicates the potential  primary  productivity of
    Georgetown Lake  was moderately high at  the time  the sample
    was collected (07/29/75).   Also,  the lack  of yield increase
    with the addition of phosphorus until nitrogen was also added
    indicates  nitrogen limitation at that time.  Note that the
    addition of nitrogen alone resulted in  a yield significantly
    greater than that of the control.
        The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation at all stations
    in July (the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were
    4/1 or less) and at stations 1  and 2 in September (the mean N/P
    ratios were 10/1 and 13/1, respectively);  however, phosphorus
    limitation is indicated at station 3 in September (the mean
    N/P ratio  was 20/1).

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient  loadings,  the  Montana  National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab  samples when  possible  from
 each of the tributary sites  indicated  on the  map (page  v), except  for
 the high runoff month of June when  two samples were  collected.   Sampling
 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 Montana District Office  of the  U.S. Geological Survey for  the
 outlet and the North Fork Flint  Creek.
     In this report, nutrient loads  for sampled tributaries were
 calculated using mean annual  concentrations and  mean annual  flows.
 Nutrient loads for the Anaconda  Aqueduct were calculated  using the
 mean concentrations in the Flint Creek outlet (station  A-l)  and  the
 monthly flows provided by the Anaconda  Company.
     Nutrient loads for unsampled "minor tributaries  and immediate
 drainage" ("II" of U.S.G.S.)  were estimated using the mean concentrations
 in  the North Fork Flint Creek at station B-l  and the mean annual II flow.
     Nutrient loads were not  estimated  for  the extensive submarine  spring
 flows known to occur in the  lake (Shields, 1976).

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.

    Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
     (g/m2/yr)  based on mean depth  and  mean
     hydraulic  retention time of Georgetown  Lake:
        "Dangerous"   (eutrophic loading)               0.38
        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic  loading)          0.19
