FOREWORD
The National Eutrophication Survey was Initiated 1n 1972 1n
response to an Administration commitment to Investigate the nation-
wide threat of accelerated eutrophication to fresh water 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)]s water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)], clean lakes [§314(a»b)]f
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
fresh water 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.

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Although only limited Survey data are available to assess
the trophic condition of Cannonsville Reservoir, all evidence
indicates that Cannonsville Reservoir is now eutrophic and is
undergoing further eutrophication at an accelerated rate.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
No algal assay was performed on the waters of Cannonsville
Reservoir; however, nitrogen to phosphorus ratios in the reser-
voir in May (24 to 1) and in tributaries unaffected by point
waste sources, indicate that primary production in Cannonsville
Reservoir should be phosphorus limited. This conclusion is
reinforced by the fact that the majority of other surveyed lakes
in the northeast are phosphorus limited or would become phos-
phorus limited if point-source phosphorus were controlled.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
Adequate data are available to assess inputs of phosphorus
and nitrogen to Cannonsville Reservoir during the sampling year.
These data indicated that the point-source total phosphorus
input to the reservoir was about seven times greater than the
amount attributable to non-point sources. The excessive phos-
phorus load was input to the reservoir by the West Branch,
-------
Delaware River at the rate of about 176,600 pounds of total
phosphorus annually. On the basis of other tributary loads
to the reservoir, approximately 20,000 Ibs P/year can be
attributed to non-point source runoff while 156,600 Ibs P/year
in the West Branch, Delaware River can be attributed to either
industrial or municipal point source contributions. Breakstone
Foods (at Walton, NY) was identified as a major phosphorus con-
tributor to the West Branch, Delaware River. The Village of
Walton also is believed to contribute significantly. Two other
dairy-related industries located in the West Branch, Delaware
River drainage, which are potentially large phosphorus contribu-
tors, are Del town Foods, Inc. and the Dairy Lea Cooperative,
both near Delhi, New York. Both industries, particularly Deltown
Foods, need further investigation to determine effluent nutrient
loads.
If a high degree of point source phosphorus reduction were
implemented in the West Branch, Delaware River drainage to Can-
nonsville Reservoir, phosphorus loadings to the reservoir could
2
be reduced from the present 4.26 grams P/m /year to 0.61 grams
2
P/m /year; i.e., a mesotrophic loading rate (see pages 16 and
17).

II. INTRODUCTION
Cannonsvilie Reservoir was Included among the New York lakes and
reservoirs studied by the National Eutrophication Survey. Initially
Cannonsvi Tie Reservoir was to be sampled three times between May and
November, 1972; however, after the first sampling, the EPA field staff,
which conducted waste sampling from pontoon-equipped helicopters, were
informed that they were prohibited from landing on Cannonsville because
it was used as a source of water supply for New York City. Consequently,
only one set of lake samples was obtained in May, 1972, and the algal
assay study was not performed.
Seven tributaries and the outlet of Cannonsville Reservoir (Delaware
River) were sampled monthly by the New York National Guard from November,
1972, through October, 1973. These samples were preserved with mercuric
chloride and shipped to the EPA Pacific Northwest Environmental Research
Laboratory where they were analyzed for phosphorus and nitrogen.
The stream flow estimates used in the report were provided by the
New York District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey through an inter-
agency agreement.
Very little background data was available on Cannonsville Reservoir
at the time of preparation of this report. Personnel of the EPA Water
Supply Branch, Region II (MacLemon, 1974), indicated that Cannonsville
Reservoir was filled by 1965, and that New York City uses the reservoir
-------
to a very limited extent for water supply purposes primarily due to
the poor quality of the water. It was also indicated that algal
problems occur in the reservoir during the summer months, and "huge
pulses" of algae have been observed by others (Schumacher and Wager,
1973).

IV. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Cannonsville Reservoir was sampled only once 1n May, 1972, before
the Survey field crews were prohibited further access to the reservoir
by the Federal Aeronautics Authority (FAA). All lake sampling was done
by helicopter, and the FAA apparently does not permit landings on lakes
used for water supply purposes. In any event, two stations were sampled
during the single visit to the lake. The station locations are indicated
on the map (page v).
The maximum depths sampled were 54 feet at station 1 and 53 feet at
station 2.
The results of the lake sampling are presented in Appendix B and are
summarized below. The mean values presented in the summary tables are not
volume-weighted; nevertheless, the means serve as a general guide to water
quality in the lake.

C. Limiting Nutrient:
Ordinarily an algal assay analysis is performed on each lake
included in the National Eutrophication Survey; however, for 1972
lakes the algal assay samples were collected during the third
round of sampling. Because Cannonsville Reservoir was only sam-
pled once, the algal assay sample was not collected.
Even though an algal assay was not performed, some judgements
can be made concerning limiting nutrients. Cannonsville Reservoir
is located in an area in which lakes primarily are phosphorus
-------
8
limited. Algal assays have been done on samples from approxi-
mately 200 Survey lakes, and it has been found that lake waters
are phosphorus limited when the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio is
greater than 14 to 1. The ratio of nitrogen load to phosphorus
load in all six of the unimpacted streams entering Cannonsville,
was approximately 46 to 1, and the mean ratio in the reservoir in
May, 1972, was 24 to 1. This indicates that primary productivity
in Cannonsville Reservoir should be limited by phosphorus.
D. Trophic Condition:
Though the data from Cannonsville Reservoir were very limited,
there are strong indications that the reservoir is eutrophic.
Total and dissolved phosphorus concentrations in the reservoir
were high as were chlorophyll a_ concentrations. Only 4 of the 26
New York lakes sampled three times had higher mean total phosphorus
concentrations and only one had higher mean chlorophyll a_ concentra-
tions.
The phosphorus loading data which are presented later in this
report are also indicative of eutrophic conditions.
-------
V. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix C for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the New York National
Guard collected a monthly near-surface grab sample from each of the
tributary sites indicated on the map (page v), except for the high
runoff months of April and May when two samples were collected. Samp-
ling was begun in November, 1972, and was completed in October, 1973.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by
the New York District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey for the
tributary sites nearest the lake.
In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were deter-
mined by using a modification of a U.S. Geological Survey computer
program for calculating stream loadings*. Nutrient loadings for unsam-
pled "minor tributaries and immediate drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were
2
estimated by using the means of the nutrient loads, in Ibs/mi /year, of
the unimpacted streams sampled in the drainage and multiplying the means
2
by the ZZ area in mi .
A. Nutrients from point sources:
All of the municipal and industrial waste sources listed
below discharge to the West Branch of the Delaware River. As
far as is known, these are the only significant waste discharges
* See Working Paper No. 1.
-------
10
in the Cannonsvilla drainage area; however, an exhaustive search
was not made. None of the listed point sources were sampled
during the Survey; however, data were obtained from personnel of
the EPA Region II Office (Bricke, 1974) for the Village of Walton
and Breakstone Foods, Inc. in Walton, New York. These data origi-
nated in an October, 1973, report entitled, "Environmental Assess-
ment Statement for the Village of Walton", that was prepared by
the engineering firm of Quirk, Lawler, and Matusky (1973). The
Region II Office also furnished the information on two other
industries located in the Cannonsville drainage area; i.e., Deltown
Foods, Inc., and Dairy Lea Cooperative, Inc. The data for these
industries were derived from company applications for permits to
discharge wastes.
Other than the listed point sources, all discharging to the
West Branch, Delaware River, no point sources are known elsewhere
in the Cannonsvilie Reservoir watershed.
The table below lists the known municipal and industrial
waste sources to the West Branch, Delaware River.

D. Discussion of Nutrient Loading:
The previous two tables indicate that 96.7% of the total
phosphorus and 85% of the total nitrogen load to Cannonsville
Reservoir originates from the West Branch of the Delaware River.
The data also indicate that the phosphorus load exported annually
from the West Branch, Delaware River, on a unit-area basis, is
nearly 10 times greater than the average load contributed by the
other tributaries to Cannonsville Reservoir; i.e., 503 Ibs total
P/sq mi/year from the Delaware versus an average of 57 Ibs total
P/sq mi/year from the other six tributary streams.
To a lesser extent, the same is true of nitrogen. The Delaware
drainage contributes approximately 4,550 Ibs total N/sq mi/year
while the average of the six other drainage areas is 2,282 Ibs
total N/sq mi/year.
Differences in land use cannot account for the tremendous
differences in phosphorus export between the West Branch, Delaware
drainage and the other tributary systems. The West Branch, Dela-
ware drainage is approximately 67% forested and 27% cropland
while the other drainage areas range from 66-93% forested and
3-19% cropland. Therefore, one would expect approximately the
same loadings on a unit-area basis.
The excessive phosphorus load to Cannonsville Reservoir can
only be attributed to industrial and domestic point sources in
-------
15
the West Branch, Delaware drainage area. The largest known in-
dustrial contributor is Breakstone Foods located at Walton, a
short distance upstream from the reservoir. The Breakstone
wastes account for 70,080 Ibs total phosphorus/year according
to the best information available. The Village of Walton ac-
counts for an additional 6,200 Ibs total phosphorus/year.
The other two known municipal waste discharges in the West
Branch Delaware, Stamford and Hobart, are probably insignificant
contributors because they are relatively small towns located
approximately 40 miles from the reservoir.
The other two industrial discharges in the West Branch,
Delaware drainage—Del town Foods, Inc., and Dairy Lea Coopera-
tive—are worthy of further investigation. Both are potentially
heavy contributors of nutrients, yet available information does
not indicate significant contributions.
The domestic and industrial discharges mentioned above account
for a large part of the excessive phosphorus load entering Cannons-
ville Reservoir, but not the entire load. A more intensive investi-
gation of point-source loadings in the West Branch, Delaware
River is needed to fully evaluate the high phosphorus and nitro-
gen loadings.
If point source phosphorus contributions to the West Branch,
Delaware River were greatly reduced or eliminated, Cannonsville
-------
16
Reservoir has the potential of having very good water quality.
The existing phosphorus load to Cannonsville Reservoir from all
sources is 182,520 pounds/year of which 176,560 Ibs P/year origi-
nates from the West Branch, Delaware River. If point-source phos-
phorus contributions were eliminated, one would assume that the
Delaware drainage would export approximately the same quantity of
phosphorus as the average of the other tributaries to the reservoir;
i.e., 57 Ibs P/sq mi/year. Under that condition, the total phos-
phorus load to the reservoir from all sources would be only 26,970
Ibs P/year of which 20,000 Ibs P/year would originate from the
West Branch, Delaware River.
In 1968, Vollenweider developed a relationship between phos-
phorus and nitrogen loading rates to lakes, lake morphometry and
lake trophic condition which he modified in 1973 (in press). It
is interesting and informative to compare the Cannonsville Reser-
voir phosphorus data to the loading levels which Vollenweider
indicates would be expected to result in a eutrophic and mesotro-
phic condition for the reservoir. This comparison is made in the
following table.
-------
17
Existing Total Phosphorus Loading Rate to Cannonsville Reservoir Compared to
Achievable Loading Rate with Point-Source Phosphorus Control.
Existing Total Phosphorus Achievable Total Phosphorus
Loading to Cannonsville Loading to Cannonsville with
Reservoir Point Source Controls
2
grams P/meter /year 4.26 0.61
Vollenweider theoretical loading rates
for total phosphorus (grams/m2/yr)
based on mean depth and mean detention
time of Cannonsville Reservoir:
"Dangerous" (eutrophic rate) 1.05
"Permissible" (oligotrophic rate) 0.55
According to Vollenweider, a phosphorus limited water body with
the morphometry of Cannonsville would be expected to remain eutrophic
if the annual surface loading exceeded the "Dangerous" level (1.05
2
g/m /year). If the loading rate was less than the "Dangerous"
2
level but greater than the "Permissible" loading {0.55 g/m /year),
Cannonsville Reservoir would be expected to become mesotrophic.
The relationship cited above points out that current phos-
phorus loadings to Cannonsville Reservoir are much too high and
that a reduction of the loadings to natural or background levels
(without point source influence) should markedly decrease the
eutrophication rate of Cannonsville Reservoir.
