1 Bear Lake Sediment Study Alan Steinman and Mary Ogdahl Annis Water Resources Institute Grand Valley State University
2 Outline Study Site Description Management Issues - TMDL Internal Loading Measurements Summary/Implications
3 Bear Lake: 410 acres 6.9 ft: mean depth 11.8 ft: maximum depth Polymictic Mean HRT = 78 days Bear Lake Muskegon Lake Lake Michigan
4 Eutrophic Bear Lake Water Quality Mean TP = 44 µg/l (turnover) Chl a = µg/l (summer) Suffers from nuisance algal growth caused by elevated phosphorus (P) - Muskegon Lake Area of Concern (AOC) - Michigan 303(d) list Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for P
5 What is a TMDL? Total Maximum Daily Load Required by Clean Water Act and U.S. EPA for water bodies not meeting water quality standards Establishes the allowable loadings of pollutants for a water body Identifies pollutant reductions necessary to restore and maintain water quality
6 Phosphorus Loads to Bear Lake External P Load = 1,839 lb/yr Internal P Load = 1,548 lb/yr* *Based on Sediment TP (Nürnberg 1988, CJFAS): TP release rate (mg/m 2 /d) = (TP) Total P Load = 3,387 lb/yr
7 Bear Lake TMDL MDEQ: need to reduce mean TP concentration from 44 µg/l to 30 µg/l Requires a total reduction from 3,387 to 1,313 lbs/yr: lbs/yr from watershed (50%) - 1,226 lbs/yr from internal loading (80%) Internal load target = 322 lbs/yr
8 Study Goals & Objectives Goal: Develop a strategy to reduce internal P loading to meet TMDL requirements Objectives: - Determine accurate internal loading rates - Develop Feasibility Report for Best Treatment
9 Sediment-Water Interactions Water Sediment SRP bioavailable Uptake Release Diffusion Resuspension (anoxic) alum Precipitation (Oxic: Fe) PP particulate Sedimentation SRP bioavailable Mineraliz n PP particulate
10 Strategy Collect sediment cores from 4 sites over 3 seasons - spring, summer, and fall, 2011; summer 2012 Measure internal P loading under oxic and anoxic conditions Measure diel DO concentrations at 2 sites - summer 2011; spring and summer 2012

32 Best Treatment? Develop Feasibility Report for Best Treatment Internal P loading already close to or exceeds TMDL reduction target No need to address internal loading
33 Summary Internal loading in Bear Lake is highest in summer but overall rates are relatively low TMDL estimates for internal loading are too high (perhaps by 3-7 fold) TMDL needs to focus more on external P loading reductions
