                          FOREWORD
    The National Eutrophication Survey was initiated in 1972 1n
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 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 Sevier Bridge Reservoir is eutro-
         phic.   It ranked twenty-first in overall trophic quality when
         the 27 Utah lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared
         using a combination of six parameters*.  Twelve of the water
         bodies had less median total  phosphorus, 16 had less and one
         had the same median dissolved orthophosphorus,  24 had less
         median dissolved inorganic nitrogen, 21 had less mean chlorophyll
         a_, and 20 had greater mean Secchi disc transparency.  Marked
         depression of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at sampling
         station ] in August (2.6 mg/1 at 15.5 meters).
             Survey limnologists noted an algal bloom and submerged
         macrophytes in the reservoir in May.
     B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
             The algal assay results indicate the reservoir was phosphorus
         limited in May and September.  The reservoir data indicate  phos-
         phorus limitation at all sampling times,
     C.  Nutrient Controllability:
             1.  Point sources—The two known point sources collectively
         contributed an estimated 8.6% of the total  phosphorus load  to
         the reservoir during the sampling year.
* See Appendix A.

-------
                             2
    The phosphorus loading of 0.75 g/m2 measured during the
sampling year is nearly twice that proposed by Vollenweider
(Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974) as a eutrophic loading (see
page 11).  While even complete removal  of phosphorus at the
two point sources would still leave a loading of 0.68 g/m2/yr,
the reservoir is phosphorus-limited, and it is likely that
a high degree of phosphorus control would result in some im-
provement in the trophic condition of the reservoir.
    2.  Non-point sources--Non-point sources, including precipi-
tation contributed a little over 91% of the total phosphorus
load during the sampling year.  The Sevier River added 86.2%,
and the ungaged minor tributaries and immediate drainage
contributed an estimated 2.8%.
    The phosphorus export rate of the Sevier River was a rather
low 2 kg/km2 during the sampling year (page 10).

III.   WATER QUALTIY SUMMARY
      Sevier Bridge 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 three of the four  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 18.6 meters  at station  1,  11.9 meters at station 2,
  3.4 meters at station 3, and 2.1 meters  at  station 4.
      The sampling results are presented in full  in Appendix  D and are
  summarized in the following table.

    3.  Discussion -

            The control  yields of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-

        cornutum, indicate that the potential  primary productivity

        of Sevier Bridge Reservoir was moderate at the times the

        samples were collected (05/12/75 and 09/24/75).   Also,  the

        significant increases in yield with the addition of phos-

        phorus alone in  both assays indicates  the  reservoir was

        phosphorus limited at those times.

            The reservoir data also indicate phosphorus  limitation;

        i.e.,  the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios

        were 44/1 or greater each sampling  time.

-------
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 months of May and June when two samples were collected.  Sam-
 pling was begun in November, 1974, and was completed  in October, 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 deter-
 mined by using a modification of  a U.S. Geological Survey computer
 program for  calculating stream  loadings*.  Nutrient loads shown are
 those measured minus point-source loads,  if any.
     Nutrient loads for  unsampled  "minor tributaries and immediate drain-
 age" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using  the nutrient loads, in
 kg/km2/year,  at station A-2 and multiplying by the ZZ area in km2.
     The operator of the Gunnison  collection system provided only three
 monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow  data; therefore, the
 nutrient loads in the untreated wastes were estimated at 1.587 kg P and
 4.263 kg N/capita/year  for the  six months of  discharge during the samp-
 ling year (a  non-overflow  pond  became  operational in  April, 1975).
     The operator of the Salina  plant did  not  participate; nutrient loads
 from this source were estimated at 1.134  kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year,
 and flows were estimated at 0.3785 m3/capita/day

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 rneso-
    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   Accumulated    Total   Accumulated
    grams/m2/yr             0.75       0.66        16.7       10.9
    Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
     (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Sevier Bridge Reservoir:
        "Dangerous"  (eutrophic loading)          0.40
        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)      0.20
