                          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)j, clean lakes [§314(a,b)j,
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.

    CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Steinaker Reservoir is meso-
        trophic.  It ranked fifth in overall trophic quality when the
        27 Utah lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared
        using a combination of six parameters*.  Two of the water
        bodies had less and two had the same median total phosphorus,
        eight had less and one had the same median dissolved ortho-
        phosphorus, none of the others had less but ten had the same
        median inorganic nitrogen, one had less mean chlorophyll a^,
        and three had greater mean Secchi disc transparency.  Marked
        depression of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at sampling
        station 2 in September (2.4 mg/1 at 15.2 meters).
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            There was a significant change in nutrients in the algal
        assay samples from the time of collection to the beginning of
        the assays.  Therefore, the results are not considered repre-
        sentative of conditions in the reservoir at the times the
        samples were taken.
            The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation in May
        and September and phosphorus limitation in August.
* See Appendix A.

                                 2
C.   Nutrient Controllability:
        1.   Point sources—No  known point sources  impacted
    Steinaker Reservoir during the sampling year.
        The phosphorus loading of 0.11  g/m2 measured during  the
    sampling year is less than that proposed by Vollenweider
    (Vollenweider and Dillon,  1974) as  an oligotrophic loading
    (see page 11).  However,  it is likely that too few tributary
    samples were taken to establish the actual  loading.   Note that
    only eight samples were collected from the Feeder Canal,  four
    were taken from Steinaker  Ditch, none were obtained  from
    Steinaker Draw and Spring  Creek, and only two  outlet samples
    were collected (see Appendix E).
        2.   Non-point sources—The estimated phosphorus  contri-
    butions of the four tributaries amounted to 82% of the total
    load.  However, as noted above, sampling frequency was mini-
    mal, and a more intensive  sampling  effort is needed  to deter-
    mine the actual tributary  loads.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Steinaker 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 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 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  ^analysis.  The maximum depths  sampled were 12.2 meters
  at station 1, 27.7 meters at station 2,  and 5.8  meters at station 3.
      The sampling results are presented  in full  in Appendix D and are
  summarized in the following table.

C.  Limiting Nutrient Study:
        A significant change  in nutrients occurred in the algal
    assay samples from the time of collection to the beginning
    of the assays.   Therefore,  the results are not considered
    representative of conditions in the reservoir at the times
    the samples were taken (05/13/75 and 09/22/75).
        The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation in May
    and September and phosphorus limitation in August;  i.e.,  the
    mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios were 4/1,  12/1,
    and 17/1, 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 June when two samples were collected
 at two 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 tri-
 butary sites nearest the reservoir.
     In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries  were  cal-
 culated using mean annual  concentrations and mean  annual  flows.  Nu-
 trient loads for unsampled Steinaker Draw, Spring  Creek,  and
 "minor tributaries and immediate drainage" ("II" of U.S.G.S.) were
 estimated using the mean concentrations in Steinaker Feeder Canal
 and Steinaker Ditch at stations B-l  and C-l  and  the mean  annual
 ZZ flow.
     No known wastewater treatment plants impacted  Steinaker Reser-

    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 Vollenweiders model may not be applicable to
        water bodies with short hydraulic retention times.
                                  Total  Phosphorus       Total Nitrogen
        	Total   Accumulated    Total   Accumulated
        grams/m2/yr              0.11     loss*         5.5     < 0.1*
        Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
         (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
         hydraulic retention time of Steinaker Reservoir:
            "Dangerous"  (eutrophic loading)          0.48
            "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)     0.24
* The apparent loss of phosphorus and the minimal  retention of nitrogen
  probably are due to insufficient tributary and outlet sampling (see
  page 2).
