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.
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 [ 3O3(e)], water
quality criteria/standards review [ 5303(c)], clean lakes [ 5314(a,b)],
and water quality monitoring [ 5106 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
phase of the Survey.
Francis H. Schraufnagel , Acting Assistant Director, and Joseph
R. Ball of the Bureau of Water Quality, and Donald R. Winter, Lake
Rehabilitation Program, provided invaluable lake documentation and
counsel during the Survey. Central Office and District Office per-
sonnel of the Department of Natural Resources reviewed the prelim-
inary reports and provided critiques most useful in the preparation
of this Working Paper series.
Major General James J. Lison, Jr., the Adjutant General of
Wisconsin, and Project Officer CW-4 Donald D. Erickson, who directed
the volunteer efforts of the Wisconsin National Guardsmen, are also
gratefully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Tainter Lake is eutrophic.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
Because of a significant loss of nitrogen in the assay
sample, the results are not reliable (see page 8). The lake
data indicate phosphorus limitation in November but nitrogen
limitation in June and August.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources--During the sampling year, Tainter Lake
received a total phosphorus load at a rate far in excess of
that proposed by Vollenweider (in press) as “dangerous”; i.e.,
a eutrophic rate (see page 14). However, Survey data indicate
that less than one percent of the phosphorus load was from
point sources (neglecting an undefined load from the Colfax
Cooperative Creamery and point sources beyond the Survey lim-
its), and it is concluded that point-source phosphorus control
would have little effect on the trophic condition of Tainter
Lake. Note that if the entire Tainter Lake drainage had a
phosphorus export equal to that of apparently unimpacted Lamb
Creek, the lake still would have received a total phosphorus
load at a rate nearly five times the eutrophic rate.
-------
2
2. Non-point sources--Areal or non-point sources appear
to be contributing high amounts of phosphorus to Tainter Lake.
For example, the total phosphorus export of Lamb Creek, which
does not appear to be impacted by any point sources at all,
was 104 lbs/mi 2 of drainage during the sampling year (see page
14). However, the phosphorus export of the Red Cedar River
was over twice that of Lamb Creek; this probably is due to
underestimation of the Colfax contribution as well as unmeasured
point-source contributions further upstream in the rather exten-
sive Red Cedar drainage basin.

II. INTRODUCTION
Tainter Lake, Dunn County, is part of the lower Chippewa River drainage
which is tributary to the Mississippi River. The topography of the basin
is primarily rolling glacial terrain.
Recreational uses of the lake include swimming, boating, and fishing.
Game fish present are northern pike, walleyes, largemouth bass, and pan-
fish.
Much of the shoreline is developed, and 16 resorts provide boat rentals
and services. Public access is provided.

IV. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Tainter Lake 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 three stations
on the lake and from a number of depths at each station (see map, page vi).
During each visit, a single depth-integrated (15 feet or near bottom to
surface) sample was composited from the stations for phytoplankton identi-
fication and enumeration; and during the last visit, a single five-gallon
depth-integrated sample was composited for algal assays. Also each time,
a depth-integrated sample was collected from each of the stations for
chlorophyl a analysis. The maximum depths sampled were 7 feet at station
1, 15 feet at station 2, and 30 feet at station 3.
The results obtained are presented in full in Appendix B, and the
data for the fall sampling period, when the lake was essentially 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, refer to Appendix B.

2. Discussion -
The control yield of the assaj alga, Selenastrum capri-
cornutum , indicates that potential primary productivity of
Tainter Lake was high at the time the sample was collected.
Also, the results indicate the lake was nitrogen limited.
However, there was a significant loss of inorganic nitrogen
-------
9
(247 igIl) in the sample from the time of collection until
the assay was begun; and the results, therefore, are con-
sidered unreliable.
Had the loss not occurred, it is most likely the sample
would have been phosphorus limited. The lake data support
this conclusion. The mean nitrogen to phosphorus ratio for
all November samples was 14 to 1 and was 12 to 1 at station
1, 14 to 1 at station 2, and 14 to 1 at station 3 (i.e.,
phosphorus limitation would be expected).
The lake data also indicate Tainter Lake may be nitrogen
limited at times. The N/P ratios at the other sampling times
were 7/1 or less at all stations.
0. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate Tainter Lake is eutrophic. Despite the
very short hydraulic retention time of this lake, of the 46 Wis-
consin lakes studied, 38 had less mean total and dissolved phos-
phorus, 38 had less mean inorganic nitrogen, 24 had less mean
chlorophyll a, and 19 had greater Secchi disc transparency.

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 tribu-
tary sites indicated on the map (page vii) except for the high runoff
months of April and May, when two samples were collected at most stations,
and during the colder months of the year when one or more samples were
omitted at some stations because of low flow and/or ice cover. Sampling
was begun in September, 1972, and was completed in September, 1973.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the year
of sampling and a “normalized” or average year were provided by the Wis-
consin 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 determined by using the pounds
per square mile per year calculated for Lamb Creek at B-i and multiplying
that by the ZZ area in square miles.
The City of Colfax declined participation in the Survey, and nutrient
loads attributed to that source were estimated (as municipal wastes only)
at 2.5 lbs P and 7.5 lbs N/capita/year.
* See Working Paper No. 1.
-------
11
Since no information on the contribution of the Colfax Cooperative
Creamery to the Colfax wastewater treatment plant was available, the
loads attributed to Colfax are not adjusted for the industrial loads.
Loads attributed to the Red Cedar River are those measured at 44-2
minus the loads estimated for the Colfax SIP.

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 waters would become eutrophic or remain eutrophic; his
“permissible” rate is that which would result in the receiving
water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligotrophic if mor-
phornetry permitted. A mesotrophic rate would be considered one
between “dangerous” and “permissible”.
