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 fresh water lakes and
reservoirs.
OBJECTI VES
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 [ 3O3(e)J, water
quality criteria/standards review [ 3O3(c)], clean lakes [ 3l4(a,b)],
and water quality monitoring {5l0€ and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.
-------
111
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.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The staff of the National Eutrophication Survey (Office of
Research & Development, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency)
expresses sincere appreciation to the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources for professional involvement and to the Wis-
consin National Guard for conduct of the tributary sampling

LAKE BUTTE DES MORTS
STORET NO. 5508
I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Lake Butte des Morts is shallow and very eutrophic and
historically has always been a eutrophic lake, although accord-
ing to Sloey (1970), since 1966 it has changed from a clear—water
lake dominated by aquatic macrophytes and bog-like areas to a
rather turbid water body from which aquatic plants and bog areas
are disappearing.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The results of the algal assay indicate Lake Butte des Morts
was limited by nitrogen at the time the sample was taken. The
lake data indicate nitrogen limitation in June and August also.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources--During the sampling year, Lake Butte des
Morts received a total phosphorus load at a rate five times the
rate proposed by Vollenweider (in press) as hdangerousu; i.e.,
a eutrophic rate (see page 14). While it is probable that Vollen-
welder’s model is not applicable to a lake with such a short
hydraulic retention time, the trophic condition of the lake is
evidence of excessive nutrient loadings.
-------
2
It is estimated that the two point sources considered in
this study contributed only about 1% of the total phosphorus
load,’ If only these sources were considered, it would be con-
cluded that point-source phosphorus control would not signifi-
cantly improve the trophic condition of Lake Butte des Morts.
Flowever, it is known that there are point sources in the Fox
River drainage (Schraufnage1 et al., 1967) and in the Wolf River
drainage (McKersie et al., 1971) beyond the 25-mile limit of the
Survey*, and it appears that a more detailed study is needed to
assess the effectiveness of point—source phosphorus control
elsewhere in the Fox and Wolf river drainages.
2. Non—point sources (see page 13)—-During the sampling
year, the phosphorus exports of the Fox and Wolf rivers were
quite high and are indicative of the uruneasured point sources
noted above.
It is calculated that the mean phosphorus export of the two
drainages would have to be reduced to about 28 lbs/mi 2 /yr to
result in a loading rate just equal to a eutrophic rate.

II. INTRODUCTION
Lake Butte des Morts is a moderate-sized shallow reservoir located
at the confluence of the Fox River and the Wolf River in Winnebago
County, Wisconsin; the lake is a part of the Winnebago Pool complex.
The lake has good public access and commercial facilities are
available. The fishery is represented by muskellunge, northern pike,
walleye, bass, and panfish (Anonymous, 1972).
Vegetation in the watershed is characterized by oak savanna, and
the predominant industries are dairy and vegetable farming.
Lake Butte des Morts is listed in "Problem Lakes in the United States"
where it is characterized as being a shallow, naturally eutrophic lake
located in an area which is subjected to high nutrient loadings from agri-
cultural runoff. An additional problem cited for Lake Butte des Morts is
bog loss during high water which results in nutrient release to the waters
of the lake.
Sloey (op. cit.) indicated that the waters in the lakes of the Winnebago
Pool were once clear and were dominated by floating and emergent aquatic
vegetation; however, in recent years the lakes and the river channel have
become consistently turbid, and the emergent vegetation and bog areas are
disappearing.

IV. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Lake Butte des Morts was sampled three times during the open-water
season of 1972 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter. Each
time, samples for physical and chemical parameters were collected from
two stations on the lake (see map, page vi). During each visit, a sin-
gle depth-integrated (near bottom to surface) sample was composited
from the two stations for phytoplankton identification and enumeration;
and during the first visit, a single five—gallon depth-integrated sam-
ple 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 feet at both stations.
The results obtained are presented in full in Appendix B, and the
data for the fall sampling period, when the lake essentially was well-
mixed, are summarized below. Note, however, the Secchi disc summary is
based on all values.
For differences in the various parameters at the other sampling times,

tation was borderline. A slight decrease in phosphorus or

increase in nitrogen in the sample would have produced a
phosphorus limited condition as indicated by the control
N/P ratio of just over 12/1.
The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation in June
and August, 1972 (N/P ratios were less than 14/1) but a
borderline condition in November with station 1 having
an N/P ratio slightly greater than 14/1.
D. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Lake Butte des Morts is eutrophic.
Of the 46 Wisconsin lakes sampled, 18 had less mean total phos-
phorus, 16 had less mean dissolved phosphorus, 19 had less mean
inorganic nitrogen, 32 had less mean chlorophyll a, and 40 had
greater Secchi disc transparency.
Survey limnologists observed algal blooms in progress during
all sampling visits and noted the occurrence of emergent aquatic
vegetation in the shallow shoreline areas.

V. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix C for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Wisconsin National
Guard collected monthly near—surface grab samples from each of the
tributary sites indicated on the map (page vi), except for the high
runoff months of April and May when two samples were collected. Samp-
ling was begun in September, 1972, and was completed in August, 1973.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a “normalized” or average year were provided by
the Wisconsin 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
estimated by using the means of the annual nutrient loads, in lbs/mi 2 /
year, in the Fox and Wolf rivers and multiplying the means by the ZZ
area in mi 2 .
The communities of Omro and Winneconne did not participate in the
Survey, and nutrient loads were estimated at 2.5 lbs P and 7.5 lbs NI
capi ta/year.

E. Yearly Loading Rates:
In the following table, the existing phosphorus loading
rates are compared to those proposed by Vollenweider (in press).
Essentially, his “dangerous” rate is the rate at which the
receiving water would become eutrophic or remain eutrophic;
his “pen nissible” rate is that which would result in the
receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligotrophic
if morphometry permitted. A mesotrophic rate would be consid-
ered one between “dangerous” and “permissible”.
Note that Vollenweider’s model may not be applicable to
water bodies with very short hydraulic retention times.
Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen
Units Total Accumulated Total Accumulated
lbs/acre/yr 85.8 loss* 1,617.1 1055*
gramslm 2 /yr 9.61 — 181.2 -
Vollenweider loading rates for phosphorus
(g/m 2 /yr) based on mean depth and mean
hydraulic retention time of Lake Butte
des
Morts:
“Dangerous” (eutrophic rate)
1.92
“Permissible” (oligotrophic rate)
0.96
* There was an apparent and unexpected loss of both phosphorus and nitrogen
during the sampling year. It is believed the “loss” resulted from the
intermittant back—flushing of Lake Winnebago and the Oshkosh waste discharge
into Lake Butte des Morts during periods of east winds (Sloey, 1970). Such
occurrences would result in erroneously high nutrient concentrations (and
thus loads) at the outlet sampling site (A—l). It is possible, of course,
that nutrient wash-out did occur because of loss of bog materials during
high water and the attending nutrient release to the waters of the lake
(Ketelle and Uttormark, 1971).
Also, the losses were relatively small (7% for phosphorus and 0.6% for nitro-
gen), and since the mean hydraulic retention time of the lake is very short,
only minimal retention of nutrients would be expected in any case.
