                        FOREWORD


     Protection of the environment requires effective
regulatory actions which are based on sound technical
and scientific information.  This information must
include the quantitative description and linking of
pollutant sources, transport mechanisms, interactions,
and resulting effects on man and his environment.
Because of the complexities involved, assessment of
specific pollutants in the environment requires a
total systems approach which transcends the media of
air, water, and land.  The Environmental Monitoring
and Support Laboratory-Las Vegas (EMSL-Las Vegas)
contributes to the formation and enhancement of a
sound monitoring data base for exposure assessment
through programs designed to:

     • develop and optimize systems and
       strategies for monitoring pollutants
       and their impact on the environment

     • demonstrate new monitoring systems and
       technologies by applying them to ful-
       fill special monitoring needs of the
       Agency s operating programs

     The EMSL-Las Vegas also conducts research and
monitoring programs for the U.S. Department of
Energy* (DOE), Nevada Operations Office.  These
programs concern environmental radiation associated
with the DOE's testing of nuclear explosives con-
ducted at the Nevada Test Site and other sites.

     "Research Reports" lists scientific and technical
reports published or presented by EMSL-Las Vegas per-
sonnel.  We hope this listing will prove useful to
persons interested in environmental monitoring and
the work of our Laboratory.  We welcome any suggestions
for improving the utility of future issues of this
annual bibliography.

    ABSTRACT: This study  was conducted to obtain  baseline
              values for  pulmonary cells  in golden hamsters
    (Meeocriaetue aura-tits)  bred and maintained under  the
    laboratory conditions  of Al-Azhar  University  in Egypt.
    An improvised  technique is presented for measuring
    pulmonary cells obtained by lung lavage in golden
    hamsters. The results  of using this technique re-
    vealed a  positive correlation between the total count
    of pulmonary cells and  the body weight of the  hamsters.
    Cell  differential counts showed that more than 99 per-
    cent of the pulmonary  cells were macrophages,  with
    lymphocytes as the remainder.   The findings are dis-
    cussed and compared  to  those reported in the available
    literature.  (This study was supported by the  Special
    Foreign Currency Program, P.L.  480.)

ABIOLOGICAL METHYLATION  OF MERCURY IN SOIL

Rogers,  R. D.,  EMSL-Las  Vegas, Office of Research
and Development,  EPA, Las Vegas,  Nevada
EPA-600/3-77-007,  January 1977    16 pp.

    ABSTRACT:  This work defines several factors influenc-
              ing the methylation of mercuric ion in soil.
    Two of  the most  Important findings were that it is
    possible to extract the mercury methylating factor
                               1

-------
    from soil  with a solution of Q.5N_ sodium hydroxide and
    that this  factor is  responsible for the abiological
    methylation of mercury  in the soils under investigation.

    The ability of the soil  extract to methylate mercury
    is influenced by temperature, mercuric ion concentra-
    tion, and  solution pH.   The methylating ability of the
    soil extract was stable at high temperatures (121° C),
    but was lost after exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

    When the 0.5N_ sodium hydroxide extract of soil  was
    separated into a soluble and  insoluble fraction, the
    ability to methylate mercuric  ion  remained with the
    soluble fraction.  It was  found that  the methylating
    factor was lost when the 0.5N  sodium  hydroxide extract
    showed that the methylating factor  passes through
    dialysis tubing into the distilled  water.

PLUTONIUM UPTAKE BY  PLANTS  FROM  SOIL  CONTAINING
PLUTONIUM-238  DIOXIDE PARTICLES

Brown, K.  W.,  and J.  C. McFarlane, EMSL-Las  Vegas,
Office of Research and Development, EPA,  Las Vegas,
Nevada
EPA-600/3-77-052, May 1977    20  pp.

    Abstract:  Three plant species—alfalfa,  lettuce, and
               radishes—were grown  in soils  contaminated
    with plutonium-238 dioxide (238Pu02)  at  concentrations
    of 23, 69, 92, and 3*t2 nanocuries  per gram.  The
    length of exposure varied from 60  days for the lettuce
    and radishes to 358 days for the alfalfa.  The magni-
    tude of plutonium incorporation  as indicated by  the
    discrimination ratios for these  species,  after being
    exposed to the relatively insoluble Pu02, was similar
    to previously reported data  using  different chemical
    forms of plutonium.

    Evidence indicates that the  predominant  factor in
    plutonium uptake by plants may involve the chelation
    of plutonium contained in the soils by the action of
    compounds such as citric acid and/or other similar
    chelating agents released from the plant  roots.

    ABSTRACT:   The  report determines surface water require-
               ments  of  the natural  resource complex,  in-
    cluding fishes, wildlife, and  forests, and the socio-
    economic  resource uses, including flood control,  urban
    and Industrial  development,  mineral extraction,  trans-
    portation,  agriculture, and  recreation.  Requirements
    are expressed in  terms of desirable annual water-level
    variation,  and  resulting hydrographs are compared with
    those for  present and proposed conditions associated
    with channelization.  Minimum  volumetric inflow require-
    ments were calculated on the basis of  storage character-
    istics and water  levels as attained at present.
    Hydraulic  geometry of the present main river  channel
    is analyzed,  and  those channel dimensions that are  in
    equilibrium with  bankfull discharge suggest that
    channel enlargement  through  dredging should not go
    beyond a  cross-sectional area  of 7,'*00 square meters.

    A surface-water management plan  is presented  that  is
    beljeved  to provide  for maximum  longevity of  the
    remaining  swamp ecosystem, to  minimize the conflict
    arising from  flood-control needs, and  to make possible
    compatible derivation of benefits from both renewable
    and non-renewable resources.

MERCURY DISTRIBUTION IN  SOIL AROUND A LARGE COAL-
FIRED POWER PLANT

Nevada
EPA-600/3-77-063,  May 1977    16 pp.

    ABSTRACT:  Seventy soil samples were  collected on a
               radial grid employing 16 evenly spaced
    radii and 5 logarithmically  spaced circles, concentric
    around the Four Corners power plant in New Mexico.
    The soil  samples were analyzed for total mercury using

-------
    a Zeeman Atomic  Absorption spectrophotometer.
    Residue levels were quite low compared to average soil
    residues and no  statistically valid differences in
    mercury residue  levels were detected between circles
    or radii using two-way analysis of variance techniques.
    F-ratios indicated:   significant differences between
    circles, significant  differences between radii, and
    significant complex  interaction which could not be
    eliminated.  Contours of  iso-mercury concentrations
    show a relative  high  west of the plant near the ash
    ponds and another just east of the plant.  The fate
    of the 510 kilograms  of mercury emitted per year  is
    not known, but  it is  not  accumulating near the plant.
    Mercury emissions by  United States coal-fired power
    plants amount to only k percent of the natural
    degassing loss  in the United States, and levels near
    power plants appear  low.  The  significance of mercury
    emissions by power plants should be evaluated on a
    regional basis  since  the  evidence shows no signifi-
    cant local elevation  of mercury  in soils or air.

1291  IN ANIMAL THYROIDS  FROM  NEVADA AND OTHER WESTERN
STATES

Smith, D.  D.,  EMSL-Las  Vegas, Office of Research and
Development, EPA, Las Vegas,  Nevada
EPA-600/3-77-067, June  1977    24 pp.

    ABSTRACT:  The  data  from  over  80 thyroids collected
               during 1973,  1971*,  and 1975 from animals
    residing on the  Nevada Test Site  indicate that iodine-
    129 levels in these  thyroids are near background
    levels.  However, the median levels  in the thyroids
    of animals living on  the  Nevada Test Site are slightly
    elevated from those  found in northern Nevada, but are
    similar to those found near Denver, Colorado, and
    Rawlins, Wyoming.  Statistical analyses of the
    iodine-129/iodine-127 ratios  in, cattle thyroids
    suggest that three populations were sampled.  These
    populations are:  (1) northern Nevada cattle which
    were considered  as a  baseline  population,  (2) cor-
    ralled Nevada Test Site cattle with  intermediate
    ratios, and (3)  free-grazing cattle from Nevada
    Test Site and Rocky  Flats, Colorado, which had the
    highest ratios  reported.

    ABSTRACT:  The objective of this study was to evalu-
               ate the  short- and long-term behavior  of
    tritium in  beef animals and dairy  cows with emphasis
    on the resultant  hazard to humans  consuming meat  and
    dairy products.

    Eight lactating dairy cows  and three steers received
    a single  oral administration  of tritiated water.
    Milk and  blood from the lactating  cows and blood
    from the  steers were periodically  collected and
    analyzed  for tritium content.  The tritium content
    of whole  milk decreased with  time  giving a curve
    expressed as three-component  exponential which
    yielded half-times of 3-04+0.09, 11.U2.58,  and
    >120 days.   Tritium in the blood serum of steers
    decreased with half-lives of  4.05±0.21 and 40.4+9.82
    days.  Additional study of  the milk to assess tritium
    incorporation in  the various  fractions showed half-
    times of  2.93±0.l4 and 43-7±4.28 days for milk serum;
    2.08±0.56 and >50 days for  milk protein; and  3.28+0.35
    and 60.7143 days  for butterfat.

 SURVEY  OF CROSS-BASIN BOAT TRAFFIC/ATCHAFALAYA BASIN,
 LOUISIANA

 V. W. Lambou,  Project Officer.   EMSL-Las Vegas, Office
 of Research  and Development, EPA,  Las Vegas,  Nevada
 EPA-600/3-77-090,  August 1977    40 pp.

     ABSTRACT:   For flood control and for the preservation
                and enhancement of environmental  quality of
     overflow swamp habitats,  introduction of sediment from
     the Atchafalaya  Basin Main Channel into backwater areas
     of the Atchafalaya Basin  Floodway should be  minimized.
     This introduction occurs  mainly through diversion of
     Main Channel  discharge  into the old Atchafalaya River
     Channel and the  four dredged and maintained  cross-basin
     channels that function  as distributaries. Therefore,
     reduction of  sedimentation required structural control
     over the volume  of flow diverted.

     A boat-traffic survey was conducted to evaluate the
     need for control  structures with regard to navigational
     use of the West  and East  Freshwater Distribution Chan-
     nels and the  West and East Access Channels.  The survey
     shows that the highest  number of traffic occurrences
     relates to recreation and involves only small  boats.
     The second most  frequent  usage is for commercial fish-
     ing with use  of  the East  Access Channel being  heaviest.
     Usage by the  oil  and gas  extraction  industry ranks
     third.  Survey data suggest that only oil- and gas-
     related traffic  requires, at low river stage,  the
     channel dimensions presently maintained.  In order of
     importance to navigation, the East and West  Access
     Channels rank highest.   The East Freshwater  Distribu-
     tion Channel  has by far the least number of  traffic
     occurrences.

    ABSTRACT:  Seeds of Pisum aativum, varieties Little
               Marvel and  Alaska, were planted in  soils
    contaminated with radioactive ionic mercury, methyl-
    mercury or phenylmercury compounds.  After maturation,
    stems, leaves, and pods were harvested and analyzed
    by gamma spectroscopy.  Utilizing a least squares
    three-way analysis of  covariance coupled with  a
    Studentized Range Test, significant differences were
    noted among the levels of the three mercury compounds
    in the plants, between mercury levels in the two pea
    varieties and among mercury  levels in the different
    pea tissues examined.

    Phenylmercury levels differed consistently from levels
    of ionic mercury and methyl mercury suggesting  a
    separate pathway for  it in  peas.

    ABSTRACT:  A methodology  is presented for designing a
              carbon monoxide monitoring network based on
    the objective of identifying concentrations that exceed
    the national ambient air  quality standards (NAAQS).
    The basis  for identifying concentrations in excess of
    NAAQS is the Concentration Area  Time-Product, where the
    concentrations are integrated over an area (i.e., a
    grid square  in a gridded  system)  and  integrated over
    a time interval  for averaging the concentrations.  These
    are computed with a mesoscale air quality simulation
                              10

-------
    model formulated as a  4-dimensIonal (x,y,z,t), partial
    differential equation  of mass balance for the pollutant
    species which yields space-time average concentration
    distributions.  A frequency-weighted average of con-
    centrations called Figure of Merit is determined from
    these projected concentration distributions, prevailing
    meteorological patterns, and the frequency of occurrence
    associated with each of the meteorological patterns.  A
    mapping of these Figure of Merit values provides the
    basis of selection of  the  locations and number of sites
    in the network.

    The methodology was applied in a design of an ambient
    air monitoring network for carbon monoxide.  The estab-
    lishment of a field measurement program is described
    which would provide air quality and meteorological
    data for model validation and simulation as required
    in development of the  specifications for the number and
    location of sites in the network design.  Discussions
    are limited to the design methodology.  Actual field
    data, simulation exercises, pollution concentration
    isopleths, and mappings are presented in a separate
    -report.

    ABSTRACT:   This report presents the results of a
               single-laboratory evaluation  and an Inter-
    laboratory  collaborative test of a method  for measuring
    plutonium In  soil.  The method employs  potassium
    fluoride and  potassium pyrosulfate fusions to decom-
    pose a 10-gram sample, barium sulfate precipitations,
    solvent  extraction and electrodeposition to isolate
    the plutontum, and alpha spectrometry to measure the
    plutonium.  The method is appended to the  report.

    The single-laboratory evaluation demonstrated that the
    overall  within-laboratory precision of  the method can
    approach the  precision of nuclear counting statistics
    alone.  The interlaboratory collaborative test showed
    the coefficient variation representing differences
    between  laboratories to be approximately 10 percent
    for concentration levels exceeding 1 disintegration
    per minute  per gram.

    the difficulties which may be anticipated  in  requir-
    ing monitoring laboratories to adopt  a specific

    sented for  improving agreement between laboratories
    by establishing criteria for analytical  results
    rather than  requiring specific methodology.

    ABSTRACT:   To develop accurate monitoring techniques
               for the radioactive emissions from new
    types of nuclear  facilities,  it is necessary to
    characterize those emissions  as completely as possible.
    The first facility selected was a mixed-oxide fuel
    fabrication plant.   In-stack, standard hi-vol,  and
    special  ultra-high volume air samplers were  used to
    collect particulate samples at the Babcock and  Wilcox
    plant in Parks Township, Pennsylvania.

    The number of radioactive particles emitted, the
    particle sizes,  plutonium and uranium isotopic  content,
    and the concentration of other materials were deter-
    mined.   These characteristics are used to propose an
    appropriate air-monitoring technique for facilities
    of this type.

    ABSTRACT:   An effective environmental monitoring
               program must have a quality assurance
    component to assure the production of valid data.
    Quality  assurance has many components:   calibration
    standards,  standard reference materials, standard
    reference methods, fnterlaboratory comparison studies,
    and data validation.   The purpose of this document  is
    to  identify and document the potential radioactive
    pollutants  that could result from the expanded energy
    program  and for which quality assurance  programs must
    be provided.

    The radionuclide releases and the resulting population
    exposure doses from several energy systems for four
    projected energy utilization scenarios were calculated
    and compared.  The energy system components examined
    were: coal  mining, processing, combustion, and ash
    disposal;  coal gasification and liquefaction; oil
    shale mining, processing, residue disposal and product
    utilization; geothermal  development and  operations;
    uranium  mining, milling, conversion, enrichment and
    fabrication; nuclear reactor operations;  and fuel
    reprocessing and waste disposal.

    ABSTRACT:  This report  describes the present and
               developing capabilities of EPA's Environ-
    mental  Monitoring and Support Laboratory  in Las  Vegas,
    Nevada.    Its purpose  is  to present comprehensive  infor-
    mation in concise form  to enable users of the Labora-
    tory's services to more  readily determine the types of
    technical support available.

    The Laboratory's present capabilities were developed
    through performance of  research and monitoring projects
    involving large and small animal studies; studies of
    vegetation and  soil; development and application of
    techniques for  monitoring of air, water,  and land;
    analytical studies, and  quality assurance activities.
    The data show  a  5-fold  increase in budget from  1971
    to 1976.  Whereas 77 percent of its resources were
    spent in radiation projects in FY 1971, only 31  percent
    of its FY 1976  funds were devoted to radiation studies.

    Indexed tables  list the  present capabilities by
    environmental medium and by pollutant. These are
    referenced to scientific and technical reports
    published or presented  by Laboratory personnel.

Morgan, G.  B. ,  and E. W.  Bretthauer
Anal.  Chem.  49:14, December  1977.  pp.  1210A-1213A

    ABSTRACT:   Exposure of man to increasing amounts of
               trace and ultra trace metals  and metalloid
    pollutants is a problem of immediate concern.  An
    integrated multimedia monitoring system is necessary
    to determine accurately the sources and pathways of
    these pollutants as well as total  exposure to the
    receptor.   The analytical chemist's input  into such
    a system includes recommendations  on sampling pro-
    cedures and methods of analysis.  Sensitivity,
    accuracy,  selectivity, and cost-effectiveness of
    the various available methods must be considered.
    Interpretation of the data and adequate quality
    assurance  are prime responsibilities of the analyti-
    cal chemist.

MONITORING  THE QUALITY  OF AMBIENT AIR

Morgan, G.  B.
Environ.  Sci. Technol.  11:4,  April  1977.   pp. 352-357
EPA-600/J-77-036

    ABSTRACT:  The monitoring of ambient air quality  is
               of paramount  importance for determining
    ambient levels of pollutants so that they can be
    related to adverse effects on man and his environ-
    ment.  The considerations and objectives for design-
    ing and implementing  an  air quality monitoring network
    a re rev i ewed.

    The types of air monitoring activities are discussed
    covering permanent fixed-site  (trend) monitoring,
    ambient source-linked monitoring, exposure monitor-
    ing, and biological monitoring.  The components of
    an ambient air quality  monitoring network are re-
    viewed and evaluated  along with the quality control
    program necessary to  assure that the data and
    supporting information  are  legally and scientifically
    defensible.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE  DISTRIBUTION  OF MICROORGANISMS
IN  DESERT SOIL

Vollmer,  A. T., F. Au,  and  S.  A.  Bamberg
Great Basin Natur. 37:1, March 31,  1977-   pp.  81-86

    ABSTRACT:  Population estimates of  fungi, bacteria,
               and actinomycetes in desert soil were deter-
    mined with respect to soil depth and distance from
    shrubs.   In general  the highest numbers of microbes
    were found at the shrub base; the lowest numbers were
    found  in  the  interspaces.  While the total number of
    organisms usually declined  in deeper soil, the rela-
    tive importance of the actinomycetes increased.  These
    population trends are attributed to substrate avail-
    ability and utilization and  interspecific interactions.

    As the soils became drier and warmer the total number
    of microorganisms decreased.  Mold  populations remained
    at about  the same level during the  study.  While the
    numbers of both bacteria and actinomycetes declined,
    the relative importance of actinomycetes increased.

    ABSTRACT:  Future trends in environmental monitoring
               and  instrumentation will reflect the growing
    need to measure total exposure of critical receptors to
    specific pollutants.  This paper describes the major
    monitoring objectives expected and the design criteria
    for developing and  implementing monitoring systems to
    meet these objectives.  It deals with requirements for
    air and water monitor ing systems as well as those for
    integrated monitoring, biological monitoring, personnel
    exposure monitoring, and remote monitoring systems

    which will  be needed in the immediate  future.   It
    describes the analytical  laboratory  support  that will
    be required for measuring such  pollutants as  respira-
    tory irritants, organic compounds, and inorganic com-
    pounds as well  as for the routine elemental  analysis
    now commonly provided.   Finally,  it  discusses  the  need
    for a wel1-designed quality assurance  program  and  the
    role of such a program in providing  data  that  are

ABIOLOGICAL METHYLATION OF  MERCURY  IN  SOIL

Rogers, R.  D.
J.  Environ.  Qual. 6:4, October-December 1977. pp.  463-
467

    ABSTRACT:  The results from this work define  several
               factors influencing the methylation of
    mercuric ion in soil.  Two of the most important
    findings were that it is possible to extract  the
    mercury methylating factor from soil  with  a solution
    of 0.5N^ sodium hydroxide and that this factor is
    responsible for the abiological methylation of mercury
    in the soils under investigation.

    The ability of the soil  extract to methylate  mercury
    is influenced by temperature, mercuric ion concentra-
    tions, and solution pH.   In addition, it was  found
    that the methylating ability of the soil extract was
    stable at high temperatures (121° C), but  was lost
    after exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

    When the O.SN^ sodium hydroxide extract of  soil was
    separated into a soluble fraction and an  insoluble
    precipitate, the ability to methylate mercuric ion
    remained with the soluble fraction.   It was found
    that the methylating factor was lost  when  the 0.5N
    sodium hydroxide extract was dialyzed against distilled
    water.   Other work showed that the methylating factor
    passes through dialysis  tubing into the distilled
    water.

MESOSCALENE ANALYSIS  OF OZONE MEASUREMENTS IN  THE
BOSTON  ENVIRONS

Zeller,  K.  F. ,  R. B.  Evans,  C. F.  Fitzsimmons,  and
G.  W. Siple
J.  Geophys. Res.  82:37, December  20, 1977.  pp.  5879-
5888

     ABSTRACT:  The mesoscale analysis of ozone concentra-
               tions measured at  ground level  and aloft in
     the  Boston metropolitan area  has provided some insight
     into  the origin and fate of urban ozone.  A period  of
     intensive airborne ambient monitoring, conducted  by
     EPA's EMSL-Las Vegas  long-range air-monitoring aircraft
     from August 9-14, 1975, shows  areas of semi persistent
     high and low ozone concentrations.  In addition,  data
     presented identify an urban ozone plume at extended
     distances downwind of Boston on several days within
     this sampling period.   The importance of the daily
     synoptic meteorological  situation upon the observed
     ozone distribution is emphasized.

     On August 9, ozone concentrations ranging as high as
     103 ppb were measured aloft 35  km downwind of Boston.
     On this same day, immediately  upwind of Boston, a
     surface ozone ridge was evident.  Data collected  on
     August 10-12 show that with persistent wind directions
     aloft an urban plume  is discernible at distances  of
     50-100 km downwind.  Ozone values as high as 148  ppb
     were measured within  the urban  plume; in fact, ozone
     concentrations exceeded 80 ppb  as far as 200 km over
     the ocean, downwind of Boston,  on August 12.  On
     August 11 and 13 the  local weather situation appar-
     ently caused a sea breeze related surface ozone ridge
     pattern to recirculate high ozone levels over the
     Boston area late in the evening.  August 14, a non-sea
     breeze day, featured  a cold front passage through the
     Boston area.  The ozone distribution pattern at the
     surface differed from surface  patterns for other
     days studied.  The ozone distribution pattern aloft
     was also less complicated than  patterns aloft on
     other days studied.

ABSTRACT:  Recently the U.S. Congress enacted laws
           that provide for protection and monitoring
of groundwater quality.  Many attempts to monitor
groundwater quality have shown that such monitoring
is usually costly and difficult because groundwater
is relatively inaccessible and the chemical behavior
of pollutants in the subsurface is very complex.  In
response, a monitoring methodology has been developed
under sponsorship of the EPA.  This methodology has
excellent potential for application at State and local
levels of government.  The methodology is briefly
discussed and the published reports that contain
details on it are summarized and referenced.

VERTICAL  FLUXES AND EXCHANGE COEFFICIENTS IN  THE AIR

    ABSTRACT:  A field program was conducted  in the greater
               metropolitan area of St.  Louis, Missouri,
    during February and  July 1975 as  part of  the Regional
    Air Pollution  Study.  The purpose was  to  collect atmos-
    pheric measurements  needed for future  studies of the
    planetary boundary layer over urban  and industrial
    areas and surrounding rural areas.   The overall  goals
    of the planetary  boundary layer study are to 1)  describe
    the thermodynamic, wind and turbulence fields over the
    region; 2)  determine the magnitude and vertical  varia-
    tion of the  vertical fluxes of heat, moisture and
    momentum as  a  function of land use;  3) obtain estimates
    of the exchange coefficients of these variables;  and
    4) determine the  dependence of turbulence intensity on
    land use.

    Pilot-balloon  stations provided simultaneous measurements
    of the wind  profile with vertical resolution.  Tethered-
    balloon sounding  systems yielded  thermodynamic and wind
    profiles. An  airplane equipped with meteorological
    instruments  provided measurements of the  three components
    of wind velocity  and of high frequency fluctuations in
    velocity, temperature and humidity.

    Observational  periods, or missions, were  scheduled for
    3- or 4-hour durations during field  experiments.   The
    objectives  included  (a) mapping missions  to delineate
    the thermodynamic, wind and turbulent fields over  the
    region, (b)  flux  missions to provide estimates of  the
    true vertical  fluxes of momentum, heat and moisture
    simultaneously with vertical profiles of  these
    variables, and (c) nocturnal missions to  provide
    information  on the strength of the nocturnal  heat
    island circulation.

EPA NATIONAL EUTROPHTCATION SURVEY WORKING PAPER
SERIES, 1977

    The National Eutrophication Survey was initiated
in 1972 to  investigate the nationwide threat of accel-
erated eutrophlcation to freshwater lakes  and reservoirs
The Survey  was designed to develop, in conjunction with
State and environmental agencies, information on nutri-
ent sources, concentrations and impact on  selected
freshwater  lakes.   This information provides 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 watersheds.  Lake sampling
was completed in November 1975.

    Reports of data on individual lakes  are being
prepared cooperatively by the Special Studies Section,
Criteria and Assessment Division, Corvallis Environ-
mental Research Laboratory, 200 SW 35th  Street,
Corvallis,  Oregon  97330, and the Water and Land Quality
Branch, Monitoring Operations Division,  EMSL-Las Vegas,
P. 0. Box 15027. Las Vegas, Nevada 89114.

    Working papers listed here are available from NTIS
and, as long as their supplies last, from  the groups
which prepared the reports.
