                          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 North Dakota State Depart-
ment of Health for professional involvement, to the North Dakota
National Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the
Survey, and to those North Dakota wastewater treatment plant oper-
ators who voluntarily provided effluent samples and flow data.

    Norman L. Peterson, Director, and the staff of the Division
of Water Supply and Pollution Control of the Department of Health,
provided invaluable lake documentation and counsel during the
Survey, reviewed the preliminary reports, and provided critiques
most useful in the preparation of this Working Paper series.

    Major General LaClair A. Mel house, the Adjutant General of
North Dakota, and Project Officer Colonel Irvin M. Sande, who
directed the volunteer efforts of the North Dakota National
Guardsmen, are also gratefully acknowledged for their assistance
to the Survey.

 I.  CONCLUSIONS
    A.  Trophic Condition:
            Survey data indicate that Lake Darling is eutrophic.  It
        ranked last in overall trophic quality when the 14 North
        Dakota lakes sampled in 1974 were compared using a combination
        of six parameters*.  Eleven of the lakes had less median total
        phosphorus, ten had less median dissolved orthophosphorus,
        eight had less median inorganic nitrogen, all of the others had
        less mean chlorophyll a_, and ten had greater mean Secchi disc
        transparency.
            Field limnologists noted algal blooms and surface scums
        at all sites during the July and September sampling periods.
    B.  Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
            The algal assay results indicate the lake was nitrogen limited
        at the times the samples were taken (04/30/74 and 09/13/74).
        The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation in July as well.
    C.  Nutrient Controllability:
            1.  Point sources—No known domestic or industrial  point
        sources impacted Lake Darling during the sampling year.
            The present phosphorus loading of 0.48 g/m2/yr is 1.6 times
        that proposed by Vollenweider {Vollenweider and Dillon,  1974)
        as a eutrophic loading (see page 11).
* See Appendix A.

-------
                             2
    2.   Non-point sources—The phosphorus contribution of the
Souris River accounted for 91% of the total  load to Lake Darling
during the sampling year.   The ungaged drainage areas  were esti-
mated to have contributed  5.3% of the total  load.
    Land use in the Lake Darling drainage is mainly agriculture,
and any reductions in nutrients would involve improved land-use
practices.  However, the phosphorus export rate of the Souris
River was only 2 kg/km2 during the sampling  year (see  page 10).
    Nutrient loads from waterfowl are thought to be minimal
since the lake proper is not prime waterfowl habitat as compared
to neighboring refuge areas.

III.   LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
      Lake Darling was sampled three times during the open-water season
  of 1974 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter.   Each time,
  samples for physical and chemical  parameters were collected from two
  or more depths at two stations in  April  and three stations in July
  and September (see map, page v).   During each visit, a single depth-
  integrated (near bottom to surface) sample was composited from the
  stations for phytoplankton identification and enumeration; and during
  the April and September 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 4.3 meters at station
  1, 5.5 meters at station 2, and 5.8 meters at station 3.
      The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and are
  summarized in the following table.

    2.   Discussion -

            The control  yields of the assay alga,  Selenastrum capri-

        cornutum,  indicate that the potential  primary productivity

        of Lake Darling  was very high at the times the samples were

        collected  (04/30/74 and 09/13/74).

            There  was a  significant increase in  yield when  only

        nitrogen was added (the slight increase  when  only phosphorus

        was added  is not considered significant).   Based  on these

        results, nitrogen limitation is indicated  by  both assays.

            The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation at all  sampling

        times;  the mean  inorganic nitrogen  to  orthophosphorus ratios

        were 12 to 1  or  less,  and nitrogen  limitation would be expected.

IV.   NUTRIENT LOADINGS
     (See Appendix E for data)
     For the determination of nutrient loadings,  the North  Dakota  National
 Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples  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.
 Sampling was begun in September, 1974, and was  completed  in  August,  1975.
     Through an interagency agreement,  stream flow  estimates  for the
 year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were  provided by
 the North Dakota District Office of the U.S.  Geological Survey for the
 tributary sites nearest the lake.
     In this report, nutrient loads  for sampled  tributaries were
 determined by using a modification  of a U.S.  Geological Survey computer
 program for calculating stream loadings*.   Nutrient loads  for unsampled
 "minor tributaries and immediate drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were
 estimated using the nutrient loads  at station A-2,  in kg/km2/year,
 and multiplying by the ZZ area in km2.
     No known wastewater treatment plants impacted  Lake Darling during
 the sampling year.

F.  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.

     (g/m2/yr) based on mean depth and mean
     hydraulic retention time of Lake Darling:
        "Dangerous"  (eutrophic loading)               0.30
        "Permissible"  (oligotrophic loading)          0.15
