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 {§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.
-------
i ii
Beyond the single lake analysis, broader based correlations
between nutrient concentrations (and leading) 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 Indiana State Board of
Health for professional involvement, to the Indiana National
Guard for conducting the tributary sampling phase of the Survey,
and to those Indiana wastewater treatment plant operators who
provided effluent samples and flow data.
The staff of the Division of Water Pollution Control, Indiana
State Board 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 -Ifred F. Abner, Adjutant General of Indiana,
and Project Officers Lt. Colonel Charles B. Roberts (Retired)
and Colonel Robert L. Sharp, who directed the volunteer efforts
of the Indiana National Guardsmen, are also gratefully acknowledged
for their assistance to the Survey.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Hamilton Lake was sampled three times during the open-water season
of 1973 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter. Each time,
samples for physical and chemical parameters were collected from a num-
ber of depths at two stations on the lake (see map, page v). During
each visit, a single depth-integrated (4.6 m to surface) sample was
composited from the stations for phytoplankton identification and
enumeration; and during the first visit, 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 analysis. The maximum depths sampled were 10.1
meters at station 1 and 19.8 meters at station 2.
The sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and are
summarized in the following table.

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Hamilton Lake is eutrophic. It
ranked fourteenth in overall trophic quality when the 27 Indiana
lakes sampled in 1974 were compared using a combination of six
parameters*. Eleven of the lakes had less median total phos-
phorus, 21 had less median dissolved phosphorus, nine had less
median inorganic nitrogen, 18 had less mean chlorophyll a, and
seven had greater mean Secchi disc transparency. Hypolimnetic
dissolved oxygen was depleted at both sampling stations in August
and October.
Survey limnologists noted a moderate algal bloom and many
submerged and emergent macrophytes in August.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results indicate that Hamilton Lake was phos-
phorus limited at the time the sample was collected (05/03/73).
The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation in May as well but
nitrogen limitation in August and October.
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—The estimated phosphorus contribution from
septic tanks serving lakeshore dwellings amounted to 5.3% of the
total reaching Hamilton Lake during the sampling year, but a shore-
* See Appendix A.
-------
2
line survey would be needed to determine the significance of those
sources.
The present phosphorus loading of 0.32 g/m2/yr is a little
less than that proposed by Vollenweider (Vollenweider and Dillon,
1974) as a eutrophic loading (see page 11). Providing the sep-
tic tank phosphorus load has not been underestimated, and the over-
all loading is not increased, the trophic condition of the lake
should improve gradually. It may take some time for the improve-
ment to become readily apparent, however, since the mean hydraulic
retention time of the lake is 1.8 years, and the loading is only
0.04 g/m2/yr less than a eutrophic loading.
The trophic condition of Hamilton Lake in 1973 probably was
the result of higher phosphorus loadings prior to the Indiana
phosphate detergent ban of January, 1972, which resulted in an
estimated 50% decrease in domestic wastewater phosphorus.
2. Non-point sources--Almost 95% of the total phosphorus
input to Hamilton Lake came from non-point sources during the
sampling year. Contributing sources included Black Creek (59.8%),
Unnamed Stream C-l (6.3%), and Unnamed Stream D-l (5.3%). The
ungaged tributaries and immediate drainage were estimated to
have contributed 18.0% of the total load.
The phosphorus export rates of the tributaries were similar
to the rates of other tributaries sampled in Steuben County;
e.g., the rates of the two tributaries of nearby Pigeon Lake* were
23 and 31 kg/km2/yr.

2, Discussion -
The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum capri-
cornutum, indicates that the potential primary productivity
of Hamilton Lake was moderate at the time the sample was
collected. There was a significant increase in yield when
only orthophosphorus was added, but there was no significant
change when only nitrogen was added. Based on these results,
phosphorus limitation is indicated.
The lake data indicate nitrogen limitation in August
and in October; the mean inorganic nitrogen/orthophosphorus
ratios were 9/1 and 10/1, respectively, and nitrogen limi-
tation would be expected.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix E for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Indiana 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 February and March when two samples were collected.
Sampling was begun in June, 1973, and was completed in May, 1974.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by
the Indiana 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 means of the
nutrient loads, in kg/km2/year, at stations B-l, C-l, and D-l and
multiplying the means by the ZZ area in km2.
All estimated point-source phosphorus loads were reduced by 50%
to adjust for a phosphate detergent ban in effect in Indiana since 1972.

E. 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 1s
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 Vollenweider1s model may not be applicable to
water bodies with short hydraulic retention times.
