05ECRO MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT
LAKE SUPERIOR BASIN
COMPREHENSIVE WATER POLLUTION
CONTROL STUDY
March, 1967
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ADMINISTRATION
Great Lakes-Illinois River Basins Project
Chicago, Illinois
-------
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to summarize briefly the progress of
the comprehensive water pollution control study of the Lake Superior Basin.
Those present included Abbott, Risley, Buchanan, H. Hall, Fuller, Fisher,
Scarce, Viktora and Verber with Grounds acting as chairman. It is the
intent that progress reports completed monthly will keep the Region informed
of activities in this area of its responsibility.
Summary
Work Completed to date includes:
1. Selection and placing of current meter stations in
Lake Superior.
2. Collection of initial samples from seven stations in
the Lake.
3. Chemical, biological, and radiological analyses of
these samples.
k» Initial reconnaissance of waste sources along the
St. Louis. River.
5. Reconnaissance of possible laboratory sites.
6. Preparation of a preliminary draft of population
and economy.
7. Completion of the first draft of the immediate needs
reports concerning the St. Louis Basin, Minnesota
and Wisconsin and the Montreal River Basin, Michigan
and Wisconsin. (Copies were distributed to all
present for staff review)
-------

8. Completion of municipal vaste inventory.
9« Initial evaluation of chemical and "biological data.
10. Completion of the industrial vaste source inventory.
(Exhibit # 1)
11. Completion of a brief literature search on the chemistry
of Lake Superior with graphs comparing our findings.
(Exhibit # 2)
Previous Progress Report
Previous assignments outlined in the second monthly progress report
were discussed as follows:
Scarce-Fuller - Fuller completed a brief report on the chemical
quality of Lake Superior. The report is attached as Exhibit 2. Generally
literature values for total and soluble phosphate and for ammonia nitrogen
were much higher than those based on samples collected by the Great Lakes
Region Laboratory. According to Fuller, however, little or no information
was available from the literature regarding either sampling locations or
sampling procedures and techniques thus it is difficult to correlate our
work and that contained in the literature. It was generally agreed that
more sampling of Lake Superior is necessary if a better picture of exist-
ing water quality conditions is to be obtained. Seasonal variations at
existing sampling stations should be determined.
Fisher - Fisher's assignment was completed and was contained in
Exhibit 2 of the Second Monthly Progress Report.( See Exhibit 3 " ERRATA ".)
Verber-Ownbey - A Lake Superior Program Office director and other
personnel specifically for this study have not been obtained. It appears
-------
3
that ve will not be able to hire such personnel at least until after
June 30, 1967.
Minkin - Minkin (now with the Metropolitan Sanitary District of
Greater Chicago) completed the industrial waste inventory for the Lake
Superior Basin (Exhibit 1^). Although this inventory locates almost all
major industrial waste sources it does not in general give information
concerning waste quantities and waste strengths.
Specific Assignments
1. Libby and Fisher are to prepare a plan for initial preliminary
sampling and survey work which will identify polluted areas in the Basin.
Emphasis should be placed upon the interstate waters of the St. Louis
River Basin and Montreal River Basin, but the entire Lake Superior Water-
shed should be covered. The plan should be completed by Tuesday April 18
at 10:00 AM at which time a critique of the plan will be held. A Lake
Superior study plan previously prepared by Libby is also to be reviewed at
this time and suggestions are to be made for updating to fit present
conditions.
2. Libby is to arrange for sampling aboard the Telson Queen during
its approximate one week station pick up run this Spring. Stations sampled
last Fall will be covered to determine seasonal variations, if any. (See
Exhibit k )
3. Abbott is to complete revision of the draft reports on interstate
streams in the Lake Superior watershed by April 10. He was requested to
work directly with Mr. Ownbey so that clarification of Washington's desires
could be obtained.
** H. Hall is to prepare a preliminary report concerning land use,
fertilizer application and PO^ loadings in the Lake Superior watershed.
An initial draft should be completed by May 1,

COMPARISON OF LAKE SUPERIOR DATA

VALUES FOR LAKE SUPERIOR ( ANALYTICAL
RESULTS )
-------
COMPARISON OF LAKE SUPERIOR DATA, THE OTHER GREAT LAKES, AND
LITERATURE VALUES FOR LAKE SUPERIOR
Inshore
Figure 1 presents a comparison of total phosphate values (as
found in literature and those we found at inshore stations in Lake Superior
and. those in the other Great Lakes.
The range of values found in literature were 16 times greater than
we found, and the averages were 0.03 and O.Oli mg/1, respectively. Lake
Ontario had a range of values 195 times greater than Lake Superior and an
average value four times higher.
Figure 2 presents a comparison of total soluble phosphate values
(as POO found in the other four Great Lakes and those found in Lake Superior.
the range of values found in the other Great Lakes ranged from 6 to 520 times
greater than in Lake Superior and the average values ranged 0.03 to 0.19
mg/1, compared to 0003 in Lake Superior. The only average values equal to
Lake Superior were found in the Central and Eastern Basins of Lake Erie.
The Western Basin of Lake Erie showed an average value of 0.10 mg/1.
Figure 3 presents a comparison of ammonia nitrogen values found in
literature, and those we found at inshore stations in Lake Superior and
those found in the other Great Lakes. The Range of values and the averages
were much higher than those found in Lake Superior.
Figure h presents a comparison of nitrate nitrogen values found in
literature and those observed at inshore stations in Lake Superior and those
found in the other Great Lakes. The range of values quoted in literature
were eight times higher than our values, and the average literature value
was 0.07 mg/1 higher. The range of values in the other Great Lakes were
from 2.5 to 62 times higher than in Lake Superior. The average values for
the other Great Lakes ranged from 0.02 to 0.07 mg/1 lower than Lake Superior
with the exception of Lake Ontario, which was 0.02 mg/1 higher.
All the other parameters were much lower in Lake Superior compared to
the other Great Lakes, with the exception of pH, which was only slightly
lower. Literature values were in good agreement with our analytical results
with the exception of silica, which was twice as high in the literature.
Specific conductance values from literature were about 20 micromhos lower
than our results, and pH values were slightly lower.
It is not known why the silica values do not agree. The method employed
in the analvses was not stated in the literature. Specific conductance
readings were low in the literature because the test was not run at the
proper temperature (25° C).
