                          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.

-------
                                 m
    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 Boulder Lake is oligotrophic.   It
        ranked first in overall trophic quality when the 14 Wyoming
        lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared using a
        combination of six parameters*.  One of the water bodies had
        less median total phosphorus, none had less and one had the
        same median dissolved orthophosphorus, none had less and four
        had the same median inorganic nitrogen, none had less mean
        chlorophyll a_, and one had greater mean Secchi disc trans-
        parency.  No significant depression of dissolved oxygen occurred
        at depths as great as 53 meters.
    B.  Rate-Limi ting Nutrient:
            Due to significant changes in nutrient concentrations in
        the samples during shipment, the algal assay results are not
        considered representative of conditions in Boulder Lake at
        the times of sampling (08/28/75 and 10/17/75).
            The lake data indicate borderline nitrogen limitation in
        August and phosphorus limitation in October.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.   Point sources—No known municipal  or industrial point

        sources impacted Boulder Lake during the sampling year.
            The septic tanks serving lakeshore dwellings and a recrea-
        tional facility were estimated to have contributed less than
        0.1% of the total phosphorus load, but a shoreline survey would
        have to be done to determine the significance of those sources.
            The present phosphorus loading of 0.68 g/m2/yr is a little
        more than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
        1974) as an oligotrophic loading (see page 11).   If the loading is
        not increased, the existing trophic quality of Boulder Lake
        should persist.
            2.  Non-point sources--Non-point sources, including pre-
        cipitation, contributed essentially all  of the total phosphorus
        load during the sampling year.   Boulder Creek added 74.9% of the
        total; and the ungaged tributaries contributed an estimated 22.5%.
            The phosphorus export rate of Boulder Creek was 12 kg/km2
        during the sampling year (see page 10).   This rate was somewhat
        higher than that of an unimpacted tributary of nearby Fremont
        Lake (7 kg/km2/yr)*.

III.   WATER QUALITY  SUMMARY
      Boulder Lake was  sampled  two  times  during  the open-water  season
  of 1974 by means of a pontoon-equipped  Huey  helicopter.   Each time,
  samples for physical  and chemical  parameters were collected from
  one or more depths at three stations  on the  lake  (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 phyto-
  plankton identification and enumeration;  and during  both  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 near-surface  at station  1, 53.3  meters at sta-
  tion 2,  and 16.5 meters at station 3.
      The sampling results are  presented  in full in Appendix D  and
  are summarized in  the following table.

    Limiting Nutrient Study:
        Because of significant nutrient  changes  in  the  samples  during
    shipment from the field  to the  laboratory, the  algal  assay  results  '
    are not considered representative of conditions in  Boulder  Lake
    at the times the  samples  were collected.

-------
                             7
    The lake data indicate borderline nitrogen  limitation  in
August and phosphorus limitation in October.  The  mean  inorganic
nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios were 13  to 1  in August  and  18
to 1 in October.   Nitrogen limitation would be  expected at N to P
ratios of 13 to 1 or less.

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 months
 of June and July when two samples were collected at  two of the  sites.
 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 lake.
     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 con-
 centrations in  Unnamed Creek at station B-l and  the  mean annual  ZZ flow.
     No known wastewater treatment plants impacted  Boulder  Lake  during
 the sampling year.

  F.  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.

      Vollenweider phosphorus loadings
       (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
       hydraulic retention time of Boulder Lake:
          "Dangerous"  (eutrophic loading)              0.96
          "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)         0.48
There was an apparent loss of nitrogen during the sampling year.   This
may have been due to nitrogen fixation in the lake, solubilization of
previously sedimented nitrogen, or underestimation of the minor tribu-
tary and immediate drainage load.   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).
