                          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 and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the Utah Department of Social
Services and the Utah Department of Natural  Resources for pro-
fessional involvement, to the Utah National  Guard for conducting
the tributary sampling phase of the Survey,  and to those Utah
wastewater treatment plant operators who voluntarily provided
effluent samples and flow data.

     The staffs of the Bureau of Water Quality of the Division
of Health and the Division of Wildlife Resources provided inval-
uable lake documentation and counsel during  the Survey, reviewed
the preliminary reports, and provided critiques most useful  in
the preparation of this Working Paper series.

     Major General Maurice L. Watts, the Adjutant General of Utah,
and Project Officer Lt. Colonel T. Ray Kingston, who directed, the
volunteer efforts of the Utah National  Guardsmen, are also grate-
fully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition
            Survey data indicate that Echo Reservoir is  eutrophic.   It
        ranked twenty-sixth in overall  trophic quality when the 27  Utah
        lakes and reservoirs sampled in  1975 were compared using a  com-
        bination of six parameters*.  Eighteen of the water bodies  had
        less and one had the same median total phosphorus, 22 had less
        and one had the same median dissolved orthophosphorus,  19 had
        less median inorganic nitrogen,  13 had less mean chlorophyll  a_,
        and 21 had greater mean Secchi  disc transparency.   Marked depres-
        sion of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at  sampling station
        1  in August and September.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results are  not considered representative of
        conditions in the reservoir at the times the samples were collected.
        However, the reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation at both
        stations in May and September and at station 1 in August.  Phos-
        phorus limitation is indicated at station 2 in August.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—It is calculated that the only known point
        source contributed 25.4% of the  total  phosphorus load to Echo Reser-
        voir during the sampling year.
* See Appendix A.

-------
    The present phosphorus loading of 2.50 g/m2/yr is twice
that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,  1974)  as
a eutrophic loading (see page 11).  While even complete  removal
of phosphorus at the Coalvilie wastewater treatment plant would
still leave a loading of 1.87 g/m2/yr, it is possible that a high
degree of phosphorus control at the plant would result in persistent
phosphorus limitation in the reservoir and at least some improve-
ment in trophic condition.
    2.  Non-point sources--It is estimated that non-point sources
contributed 74.6% of the total phosphorus load to the reser-
voir during the sampling year.  The Weber River contributed 53.7%
of the total  load; Chalk Creek, 11.8%; and the minor tributaries
and immediate drainage contributed an estimated 6.2%.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Echo 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 two or more 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 24.4 meters at station
  1  and 8.5 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:
        Significant nutrient changes occurred in the samples  during
    shipment from the field to the laboratory,  and the  algal  assay
    results are not considered representative of conditions in  the
    reservoir at the times the samples  were taken (05/12/75 and
    09/18/75).
        The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation at both
    sampling stations in May and September; i.e., the mean inorganic
    nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 10/1  or less,  and nitrogen
    limitation would be expected.   The  August data indicate nitrogen
    limitation at station 1  but phosphorus  limitation at station  2
    (the mean N/P ratios were 8/1  and 27/1, respectively).
        Nitrogen limitation,  as indicated by the in-reservoir nitrogen
    to phosphorus ratios, does not necessarily mean that the  trophic
    condition of the reservoir can be improved by controlling nitrogen
    inputs.  In many cases,  the apparent condition of nitrogen-limitation
    results from excessive phosphorus input from point  sources  and is
    often accompanied by a corresponding increase in primary  production.
    In such cases,  the reversal of the  enriched condition depends upon
    phosphorus control, not nitrogen control.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Utah National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples from each of the
 tributary sites indicated on the map (page v).   Sampling was begun
 in  November, 1974,  and was completed in May,  1975.
     Through an interagency agreement, stream  flow estimates for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided  by
 the Utah District Office of the U.S. Geological  Survey for the
 tributary sites nearest the reservoir.
     In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were
 calculated using mean annual concentrations and  mean annual  flows.
     Nutrient loads  for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
 drainage" ("II" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the mean concentrations
 in  the unnamed stream at station D-l and the  mean annual  II flow.
     The operator of the Coalville wastewater  treatment plant provided
 monthly effluent samples,  and corresponding flow data were provided by
 S.  E.  Sowby, Mountainland Association of Governments,  Provo.

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.

     (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Echo Reservoir:

        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)         0.61
