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
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 Utahs
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 Joes Valley Reservoir is meso-
trophic. It ranked sixth in overall trophic quality when the
27 Utah lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared using
a combination of six parameters*. Five of the water bodies had
less median total phosphorus, one had less and three had the
same median dissolved orthophosphorus, 11 had less median inor-
ganic nitrogen, four had less mean chlorophyll a^ and ten had
greater mean Secchi disc transparency. Depression of dissolved
oxygen with depth occurred at sampling station 1 in September
(3.8 mg/1 at 36.6 meters).
Survey limnologists noted some surface concentrations of
algae in August.
Bo Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results indicate the reservoir was phosphorus
limited in September. The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limi-
tation in May and phosphorus limitation in August and September.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—No known point sources impacted Joes
Valley Reservoir during the sampling year.
2. Non-point sources—Non-point sources contributed the entire

phosphorus loading to the reservoir during the sampling year.
Lowry Creek contributed 45.9% of the total, Seely Creek con-
tributed 29.6%, and Littles Creek added 13.2%. The ungaged
minor tributaries and immediate drainage contributed an esti-
mated 3.4%.
The estimated phosphorus loading of 0.70 g/m2/year is less
than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as a eutrophic loading but is more than his suggested
oligotrophic loading (i.e., a mesotrophic loading; see page
11). Therefore, management of the reservoir should be directed
toward prevention of any increase in the loading.

III. WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Joes Valley 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 to
surface) sample was composited from the stations for phytoplankton
identification and enumeration; and during the last visit, 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 36.9 meters at station 1 and 12.5 meters at station 2.
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 that the potential primary productivity
of the reservoir was moderately low at the time the sample
was collected (09/24/75). Also, the increased yield resulting
from the addition of phosphorus alone indicates that the reser-
voir was phosphorus limited at that time. Note that the addi-
tion of nitrogen alone did not result in an increased yield.
The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation in May
and phosphorus limitation in August and September (the mean
inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 4/1, 46/1,
and 45/1, respectively).

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix E for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Utah 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 May when two samples were collected at
three of the sites. Sampling was begun in November, 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 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" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the mean concen-
trations in Littles Creek at station C-l and the mean annual ZZ
flow.
No known wastewater treatment plants impacted the reservoir
during the sampling year.

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.
Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen
Total Accumulate"? Total Accumulated
grams/mVyr 0.70 0.22 17.5 loss*
Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
(g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
hydraulic retention time of Joes Valley Reservoir:
"Dangerous" (eutrophic loading) 0.84
"Permissible" (oligotrophic loading) 0.42
* There was an apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year. This
may have been due to nitrogen fixation in the reservoir, solubllization of
previously sedimented nitrogen, recharge with nitrogen-rich ground water,
unsampled point sources discharging directly to the reservoir, or insuffi-
cient outlet sampling. Whatever the cause, a similar nitrogen loss has
occurred at Shagawa Lake, Minnesota, which has been intensively studied
by EPA's former National Eutrophication and Lake Restoration Branch (Malueg
et al., 1975).
