                          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.

-------
                                 111
    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.

 I.   INTRODUCTION
     When completed,  the dam construction underway during  the  Survey  sam-
 pling year will  raise the level  of Lake De Smet about 12  meters  and  will
 more than double the storage capacity (Mueller, 1974).  Also,  because  of
 the construction,  no water was diverted to the lake from  Piney Creek and
 Little Piney Creek during the year (Kavolock,  1976).   Consequently,  the
 data presented in  this report essentially are  of little management signifi-
 cance since it is  unlikely the data will  be representative  of conditions
 in  the enlarged lake with normal  stream diversions.
II.   CONCLUSIONS
     A.   Trophic Condition:
             The Survey data indicate Lake De Smet was mesoeutrophic  during
         the sampling year.   It ranked sixth in overall  trophic quality when
         the 14 Wyoming lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared
         using a combination of six parameters*.   Six of the water bodies
         had less median total  phosphorus, five had less median orthophos-
         phorus,  none had less but four had the same median  inorganic nitro-
         gen, 11  had less mean chlorophyll a_, and five had greater mean Secchi
         disc transparency.   No significant depression of  dissolved oxygen
         with depth occurred at any of the sampling times.
             Survey limnologists  observed an algal  bloom in  progress  through-
         out the lake in October.
   See Appendix A.

                                 2
B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
        Because of nutrient changes in the samples  during shipment
    from the field to the laboratory,  the algal  assay results  are
    not considered representative of conditions  in  the lake  at the
    times the samples were taken.  The lake data indicate nitrogen
    limitation at all sampling times.
C.  Nutrient Controllability:
        1.   Point sources—No  known municipal  or industrial  waste-
    water treatment plants impacted Lake De Smet during the  sampling
    year.  Septic tanks serving lakeshore dwellings were estimated
    to have contributed 0.7% of the total  load,  but a shoreline sur-
    vey would be necessary to  determine the significance of  those
    sources.
        The estimated phosphorus loading of 0.07 g/m2 during the sam-
    pling year is a little less than that proposed  by Vollenweider
    (Vollenweider and Dillon,  1974) as an oligotrophic loading.  How-
    ever, the loading probably is considerably greater when  water  is
    diverted to the lake from  Piney and Little Piney  creeks.
        2.   Non-point sources—It is estimated that non-point  sources,
    including precipitation, contributed 99.3% of the total  phosphorus
    load to the lake during  the sampling year.

IV.  WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
    Lake De Smet 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 lake (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 12.5 meters at station 1 and 16.5 meters at station 2.
    The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and are
summarized in the following table.

C.  Limiting Nutrient Study;
        Dye to significant changes In nutrients from the time of
    sample collection to the beginning of the assays, the algal
    assay results are not considered representative of conditions in
    the lake at the times the samples were taken (05/22/75 and 10/15/75).
        The lake data indicate that Lake De Smet was nitrogen limited
    all three sampling times.  This mean Inorganic nitrogen to ortho-
    phosphorys ratios were 5 to 1  in May, 5 to 1 in August, and 13
    to 1 In October; and nitrogen  limitation would be expected.

1 V.  NUTRIENT  LOADINGS
     (See  Appendix  E  for  data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the Wyoming National
 Guard  collected  monthly  near-surface grab  samples when possible  from
 each of the tributary  sites indicated on the map (page v).  Sampling
 was  begun in  October,  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  Wyoming District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey for the
 outlet and the minor tributaries and immediate drainage.  No diversions
 to the lake from Piney and Little Piney creeks were made during  the
 sampling  year.
     Nutrient  loads for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
 drainage" ("ZZ"  of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the mean concentrations
 in Shell  Creek at  station C-l and the mean annual ZZ flow.
     No known  wastewater  treatment plants impacted Lake De Smet 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 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 jneso-
        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 surface area and outflow
        of Lake De Smet during the sampling year:
            "Dangerous"  (eutrophic loading)              0.20
            "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)         0.10
* The loss of phosphorus probably was the result of the lowering of the
  level of the lake during the sampling year.
