                          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.

-------
     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
 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 EPA
 and to augment plans implementation by the states.

 ACKNOWLEDGMENT

     The staff of the National  Eutrophication Survey (Office of
 Research & Development,  U.  S.  Environmental  Protection Agency)
 expresses sincere appreciation to the Wyoming Department of Environ-
 .mental  Quality for professional involvement, to the Wyoming National
 Guard for conducting the tributary sampling  phase of the Survey,
 and to those Wyoming wastewater treatment plant operators who
 voluntarily provided effluent  samples.

     The staff of the Water Quality Division  provided invaluable
 lake documentation and counsel  during the Survey, reviewed the
 preliminary reports, and provided critiques  most useful  in the
 preparation of this Working Paper series.

     Brigadier General  James L.  Spence, The Adjutant General  of
 Wyoming,  and Project Officer Colonel  Donald  L.  Boyer,  who directed
 the volunteer efforts  of the Wyoming National  Guardsmen,  are also
 gratefully acknowledged  for their assistance to the Survey.

I.  CONCLUSIONS
 A.  Trophic Condition:
         Survey data indicate that Big Sandy Reservoir is entrophi'c.
     It ranked tenth in overall trophic condition when the 14 Wyoming
     lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared using a com-
     bination of six parameters*.  All of the other water bodies had
     less median total phosphorus, 12 had less median dissolved
     orthophosphorus, six had less median inorganic nitrogen, three
     had less mean chlorophyll a_, and all of the others had greater
     mean Secchi disc transparency.  No significant depression of
     dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at any of the sampling
     times.
         Survey limnologists observed heavy turbidity on each sampling
     occasion.  The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission reports that the
     turbidity is due to finely divided, almost colloidal silt and
     is serious enough to have depressed the brown trout population
     in the reservoir (Miller, 1973).
 B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
         Due to significant changes in the sample nutrient levels,
     the assay results are not considered representative of conditions
     in the reservoir at the times the samples were taken.
         The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation at all  sampling
     times; however because of turbidity, primary productivity probably
     is light-limited much of the time.
* See Appendix A.

                                 2
C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.   Point sources--No known point sources impacted Big
    Sandy Reservoir during the sampling year.
        2.   Non-point sources--The Big Sandy River coi~.tributed
    71.7% of the total phosphorus load to the reservoir, and the
    minor tributaries and immediate drainage contributed an esti-
    mated 26.8% of the load.
        The reservoir received a total phosphorus loading over twice
    that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974)
    as a eutrophic loading (see page 11).  The apparent lack of
    nuisance plant growth in the lake probably is due to light
    limitation caused by turbidity.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Big Sandy 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  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 13.4
  meters at station 1  and 7.3  meters at station 2.
      The sampling results are presented in full  in Appendix  D and are
  summarized in the following  table.

are not considered representative of conditions in the reservoir
at the times the samples were collected (05/19/75 and 10/16/75).
    The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation at all  sam-
pling times (the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus ratios
were 4/1 or less, and nitrogen limitation would be expected).

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Wyoming 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 May when two samples were collected.   Sampling was
 begun in October, 1974, and was completed in July, 1975.
     Through an interagency agreement, stream flow  estimates for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized"  or average  year were  provided by
 the Wyoming District Office of the U.S.  Geological  Survey for the
 tributary sites nearest the reservoir.
     In this report,  nutrient loads for sampled  tributaries were
 determined by using a modification of a  U.S.  Geological Survey computer
 program for calculating stream loadings*.   Nutrient loads for unsampled
 "minor tributaries and immediate drainage" ("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.
     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 eutrcphic 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

    grams/m2/yr             1.20       0.18        16.0       4.1
    Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
     (g/m2/yr)  based on mean depth and mean
     hydraulic  retention time of Big  Sandy Reservoir:
        "Dangerous"  (eutrophic loading)                 0.54
        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic  loading)            0.27
