                          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.

-------
                                 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
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-
roental 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.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Keyhole Reservoir is eutrophic.
        It ranked eighth in overall trophic quality when the 14 Wyoming
        lakes and reservoirs sampled in 1975 were compared using a
        combination of six parameters*.  Four of the waterbodies had
        less median total  phosphorus, three had less and one had the same
        median dissolved orthophosphorus, five had less median inorganic
        nitrogen, nine had less mean chlorophyll a_, and eight had
        greater mean Secchi disc transparency.  Depression of dissolved
        oxygen with depth occurred at stations 1 and 3 in August.
            Survey limnologists noted an algal bloom in the reser-
        voir in October.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            Due to nutrient changes in the samples from the time of col-
        lection to the beginning of the assays, the results are not con-
        sidered representative of conditions in the reservoir at the
        times of sampling (05/23/75 and 10/15/75).
            The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation in May and
        October and phosphorus limitation in August.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.   Point sources—The City of Moorcroft contributed 7.2%
        of the total phosphorus load to Keyhole Reservoir during the
* See Appendix A.

-------
                             2
sampling year.  The septic tanks serving a lakeshore campground
were estimated to have added less than 0.1% of the total load.
    The City of Gillette, located approximately 50 km upstream
from station A-2, discharged 13,670 kg of total phosphorus into
Donkey Creek during the sampling year.  However, the impact of
this discharge was not evident at station A-2, possibly because
of less than normal precipitation and stream flow during the
year of sampling.  It is probable that the phosphorus load of
Gillette impacts Keyhole Reservoir during years of normal
precipitation and higher runoff.
    The present phosphorus loading of 0.46 g/m2/yr is more than
three times that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider & Dillon,
1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 11).   Because of the
high loading and the long hydraulic retention time of the reser-
voir, all phosphorus inputs should be minimized as much as possible
to slow the aging of the reservoir.
    2.  Non-point sources--Non-point sources, including direct
precipitation, contributed 92.8% of the total phosphorus load
to the reservoir during the sampling year.  The Belle Fourche
River added 48.1% of the total; Wind Creek,  29.7%; Mule Creek,
1.3%; and the ungaged tributaries contributed an estimated 9.9%.
    The phosphorus export rates of the Belle Fourche River, Wind
Creek, and Mule Creek were 2,  22, and 7 kg/km2/yr, respectively
(see page 10).  The higher rate of Wind Creek may be due to an
unknown point source or to insufficient sampling.

III.   WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Keyhole 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
  two or more depths at four stations  on  the reservoir  (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  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 15.5 meters at station  1,  10.4 meters  at station 2, 14.6
  meters at station 3,  and 4.6 meters  at  station 4.
      The sampling results are presented  in  full  in Appendix D and are

C.  Limiting Nutrient Study:
        Due to significant nutrient changes in the samples from the
    time of collection to the beginning of the assays, the results
    are not considered representative of conditions in the reser-
    voir at the times the samples were collected (05/23/75 and
    10/15/75).
        The reservoir data indicate nitrogen limitation in May and
    October and phosphorus limitation in August.  The mean inorganic
    nitrogen to orthophosphorus ratios were 12 to 1 in May, 14 to 1
    in August, and 13 to 1 in October.

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  tri-
 butary sites indicated on the map (page vi),  except for the  high  runoff
 month of May when two samples were collected.  Sampling was  begun in
 October, 1974,  and was completed in June, 1975.
     Through an  interagency agreement, stream  flow  estimates  for the year
 of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by the Wyo-
 ming District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey for the tributary
 sites nearest the reservoir.
     In this report, nutrient loads for  sampled tributaries were cal-
 culated using mean annual  concentrations and  mean  annual  flows.   Nutrient
 loads shown are those measured minus point-source  loads,  if  any.
     Nutrient loads for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate drain-
 age" ("ZZ"  of U.S.G.S.) were estimated  using  the means of the concen-
 trations in Wind Creek and Mule Creek at stations  B-l  and C-l  and the
 mean annual ZZ  flow.
     The operators of the Gillette and Moorcroft  wastewater treatment
 plants provided monthly effluent samples and  corresponding flow data.

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 Vollenweider's model may not be applicable to
    water bodies with short hydraulic retention times.
