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 [ 3O3(c)J, clean lakes [ 3l4(a,b)],
and water quality monitoring [ lO6 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, rnultivariate 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 Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency for professional involvement and to the Minnesota National
Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the Survey.
Grant J. Merritt, Director of the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency, John F. McGuire, Chief, and Joel G. Schilling, Biologist,
of the Section of Surface and Groundwater, Division of Water Quality,
provided invaluable lake documentation and counsel during the course
of the Survey; and the staff of the Section of Municipal Works, Divi-
sion of Water Quality, were most helpful in identifying point sources
and soliciting municipal participation in the Survey.
Major General Chester J. Moeglein, the Adjutant General of
Minnesota, and Project Officer Major Adrian Beltrand, who directed
the volunteer efforts of the Minnesota National Guardsmen, are also
gratefully acknowledged for their assistance to the Survey.

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Clearwater Lake is eutrophic.
Although nutrient levels were low when compared to all other
Minnesota lakes studied, Clearwater Lake has an aquatic vege-
tation problem. Survey limnologists indicated that the shallow
and shoreline areas were heavily grown with rooted vegetation.
Also, algal blooms were noted on the July and August sampling
periods along with surface plant debris and hydrogen sulfide
in samples from the hypolirnnion.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay sample was lost in shipment from the field;
therefore, no assay results are available. The lake data indi-
cate the lake was nitrogen limited during all three sampling
periods.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources--During the sampling year, it is calculated
that Clearwater Lake received a total phosphorus load at a rate
in excess of the rate proposed by Vollenweider (in press) as
“dangerous”; i.e., a eutrophic rate (see page 12). Of this load,

-------
2
it is estimated that about 36% was contributed by the communities
of Watkins and Kimball.
It is calculated that even complete removal of phosphorus
at the indicated point sources would result in a loading rate
of 3.8 lbs/acre/yr or 0.43 gfm 2 /yr--a rate still somewhat in
excess of the eutrophic rate of 0.38 g/m 2 /yr. However, if such
a degree of removal can be achieved, it is likely there would be
some improvement in the trophic condition of Clearwater Lake.
2. Non-point sources (see page j2)--The phosphorus export
of the Clearwater River was about three times that of the other
two tributaries to Clearwater Lake and may have been due to
underestimation of the phosphorus loads from Watkins and Kimball.
In all, it is estimated that non-point sources contributed
about 63% of the total phosphorus load to Clearwater Lake during
the sampling year.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Clearwater 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 to surface) sample
was composited from the three stations for phytoplankton identification
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
chlorophyll a analysis. The maximum depths sampled were 49 feet at sta-
tion 1, 28 feet at station 2, and 34 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 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, refer to Appendix B.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix C for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Minnesota 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 month of April when two samples were collected. Sampling was
begun in October, 1972, and was completed in October, 1973.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a “nornialized or average year were provided by
the Minnesota 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 loading for unsam-
pled “minor tributaries and immediate drainage” (“ZZ” of U.S.G.S.) were
estimated by using the means of the nutrient loads, in lbs/mi 2 /year, at
station B-i and multiplying the means by the ZZ area in mi 2 .
The operator of the Watkins wastewater treatment plant provided
monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data. However, Kimball
did not participate in the Survey, and nutrient loads were estimated at
2.5 lbs P and 7.5 lbs N/capita/year.
The tributary nutrient loads given in the following tables are those
measured minus point sources, if any.

The waste treatment facilities of the Village of Annandale consist

gation since 1970. Nutrient loads measured downstream from the treatment
facilities indicate little or no discharge of nutrients from the system
during the sampling 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 waters would become eutrophic or remain eutrophic;
his “permissible” rate is that which would result in the
receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming oligo-
trophic if morphometry permitted. A mesotrophic rate would
be considered one between “dangerous” and “permissible”.
