                               FOREWORD
     The National  Eutrophicatlon 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,  concen-
trations, 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 nonpoint source pollution abatement in lake water-
sheds.

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
watershed 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(cj], 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.

-------
                              m
     Beyond the single lake analysis, broader based correlations
between nutrient concentrations (and loading) and trophic condition
are being made to advance the rationale and data base for refine-
ment of nutrient water quality criteria for the Nation's freshwater
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 the U.S. Environmental  Protection
Agency and to augment plans implementation by the states.

                             STORET NO.  5311
I.    CONCLUSIONS
     A.    Trophic Condition:*
               Based upon Survey data Sammamish Lake is  considered meso-
          trophic with a tendency towards eutrophy during the spring.
          Chlorophyll  a_ values ranged from 2.8 yg/1  in October to 22.4
          yg/1  in March, with a mean  of 7.3 yg/1.   Secchi disc visibility
          was high throughout the sampling year.   Potential  for primary
          production as measured by algal assay control  yield was high
          during spring and low during fall sampling.  Of the 13
          Washington lakes  sampled in 1975, 6 had  higher median total
          phosphorus levels (0.015 mg/1), 2 had higher median inorganic
          nitrogen values (0.210 mg/1) and 10 had  higher median ortho-
          phosphorus levels (0.006 mg/1) than Sammamish  Lake.
               Survey limnologists did not report  any problem algal
          blooms or macrophyte growths during the  sampling year.
     *See Appendix E.

-------
B.   Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
          The algal assay results indicate phosphorus limitation in
     Sammamish Lake during spring and fall sampling dates (03/31/75;
     10/28/75).  The lake data substantiate primary limitation by
     phosphorus all three seasonal visits to the lake.
C.   Nutrient Controllability:
     1.   Point sources -
               There were no known municipal or industrial  point sources
          contributing to the phosphorus load of Sammamish  Lake during
          the 1975 sampling year.  The town of Issaquah formerly dis-
          charged treated municipal and milk plant wastes to the lake;
          but as of 1968, the wastes were diverted to the Seattle-Benton
          plant which discharges outside the Sammamish Lake watershed.
          Ketelle and Uttormark (1971) report that this diversion accom-
          plished an estimated 50% reduction in phosphorus  entering the
          lake.  Septic tanks were estimated to contribute  1.2% of the
          total phosphorus load to the ]ake in 1975.
                                                          o
               The annual phosphorus loading of 0.31  g P/m  /yr is equal
          to Vollenweider's (1975) proposed "oligotrophic"  level for a
          lake with such volume and retention time.  Every  effort should
          be made to control  future phosphorus sources impacting the lake
          in order to maintain the existing water quality.

-------
2.   Nonpoint sources -
          During the sampling year,  Issaquah Creek contributed
     75.6% of the total phosphorus load to Sammamish Lake,  Tib-
     betts Creek contributed 2.4%, and ungaged drainage areas
     were estimated to have contributed 14.6% of the total.
          The phosphorus export rate of Issaquah Creek was  sub-
     stantially greater during the sampling year than would be
     expected from nonpoint contributions alone (Section IV-D).
     This inflation is probably a result of either septic tank
     contributions or urban runoff from the city of Issaquah
     through which Issaquah Creek flows.

-------
I'l.   LAKE AND DRAINAGE BASIN CHARACTERISTICS
          Lake and drainage basin characteristics are itemized below.
     Lake morphometry data were provided by Emery, et al.  (1973).   Tribu-
     tary flow data were provided by the Washington District Office of
     the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).   Outlet drainage area includes
     the lake surface area.  Mean hydraulic retention time was obtained
     by dividing the lake volume by mean flow of the outlet.  Precipi-
     tation values are estimated by methods as outlined in National
     Eutrophication Survey (NES) Working Paper No. 175.  A table of
     metric/English conversions is included as Appendix A.
     A.   Lake Morphometry:
          1.   Surface area:  19.82 km2.
          2.   Mean depth:  17.7 meters.

III.  LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
          Sammamish Lake 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  col-
     lected from four stations on  the lake  (Stations  03  and  04 were  not
     sampled in March) and from  a  number  of depths  at each station
     (see map, page v).  During  each visit, depth-integrated samples
     were collected from each station for chlorophyll  a_  analysis and
     phytoplankton identification  and enumeration.  During the first
     and last visits, 18.9-liter depth-integrated samples were com-
     posited for algal assays.   Maximum depths  sampled were  26.8 meters
     at Station 01, 24.4 meters  at Station  02,  20.7 meters at Station 03,
     and 12.5 meters at Station  04.   For  a  more detailed explanation
     of NES methods, see NES  Working Paper  No.  175.
          The results obtained are presented in full  in  Appendix C and
     are summarized in III-A  for waters at  the  surface and at the
     maximum depth for each site.   Results  of the phytoplankton counts
     and chlorophyll ^determinations are included  in III-B.  Results
     of the limiting nutrient study are presented in  III-C.

2.   Discussion -
          The control  yields of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-
     cornutum, indicate that the potential  for primary productivity  as
     measured by algal assay control  yield was high  in Sammamish  Lake
     during spring sampling (03/31/75)  and moderate  during  fall  (10/28/75).
     The addition of phosphorus to the  assay samples resulted  in  a sig-
     nificant increase in yield over that of the control, indicating phos-
     phorus limitation in both seasonal  samples.  No growth response
     accompanied the addition of nitrogen alone.
          The mean inorganic nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios  (N/P) in
     the lake data were approximately 45/1, 25/1, and 32/1  in  the spring.
     summer and fall,  respectively, also indicating  phosphorus limitation
     in Sammamish Lake.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix D for data)
          For the determination  of nutrient loadings,  the Washington
     National Guard collected monthly near-surface  grab  samples  from
     each of the tributary sites indicated on  the map  (page  v),  except
     for the high runoff month of February when  two samples  were col-
     lected.  Sampling was begun in September  1974, and  was  completed
     in August 1975.
          Through an interagency agreement, stream  flow  estimates  for
     the year of sampling and a  "normalized" or  average  year were pro-
     vided by the Washington District Office of  the USGS for the tribu,-
     tary sites nearest the lake.
          In this report, nutrient loads  for sampled tributaries were
     determined by using a modification of a USGS computer program for
     calculating stream loadings.   Nutrient loads indicated  for  tribu-
     taries are those measured minus known point source  loads, if any.
          Nutrient loadings for  unsampled "minor tributaries and imme-
     diate drainage" ("II" of USGS) were  estimated  by  using  the  mean
                                    2
     annual nutrient loads, in kg/km /yr, in Tibbetts  Creek  at Station
                                                      2
     E-l and multiplying the means by the II area in km  .

E.    Yearly Loadings:
          In the following table,  the existing phosphorus  annual
     loading is compared to the relationship proposed by Vollenweider
     (1975).  Essentially, his "eutrophic" loading is that at which
     the receiving waters would become eutrophic or remain eutrophic;
     his "oligotrophic" loading is that which would result in the
     receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligotrophic
     if morphometry permitted.  A "mesotrophic" loading would be
     considered one between "eutrophic" and "oligotrophic".
          Note that Vollenweider's model may not apply to lakes with
     short hydraulic retention times or in which light penetration is
     severely restricted by high concentrations of suspended solids
     in the surface waters.
                             Total Yearly
                          Phosphorus Loading
     Estimated loading for Sammamish Lake                        0.31
     Vollenweider's "eutrophic" loading                          0.62

                   PARAMETRIC RANKINGS OF LAKES
                      SAMPLED BY NES IN 1975

                        STATE OF WASHINGTON
     Mean or median values for six of the key parameters evaluated
in establishing the trophic conditions of Washington lakes  sampled
are presented to allow direct comparison of the ranking, by parameter,
of each lake relative to the others.   Median total  phosphorus,  median
inorganic nitrogen and median dissolved orthophosphorus levels  are
expressed in mg/1. Chlorophyll a_ values are expressed in yg/1.
To maintain consistent rank order with the preceding parameters,
the mean Secchi disc depth, in inches, is subtracted from 500.
Similarly, minimum dissolved oxygen values are subtracted from  15
to create table entries.
