1 Gull Lake CASS & CROW WING COUNTIES Summary Gull Lake is located just northwest of Brainerd, Minnesota, on the border of Cass and Crow Wing Counties. It covers 9,947 acres, which places it in the upper 5% of lakes in Minnesota in terms of size. Gull Lake is part of a chain of lakes that consists of 8 lakes and connecting channels covering 13,000 acres. Gull Lake has two inlets and one outlet, which classifies it as a drainage lake. It occurs in the Crow Wing River Watershed. Water flows south from Upper Gull Lake into a navigable channel that connects to Gull Lake. Bishops Creek also flows into Gull Lake from Round Lake on the east. The Gull River flows out of the south end of Gull Lake, and continues south to the Crow Wing River. The Crow Wing River then eventually joins the Mississippi River. Water quality data have been collected on Gull Lake from These data show that the lake is mesotrophic (page 9). Mesotrophic lakes are commonly found in north-central Minnesota and have clear water with occasional algal blooms in late summer. The Gull Chain of Lakes Association mission statement says it is devoted to the restoration and continued preservation of the highest water quality and environmental standards achievable, promotion of the responsible use of land and water resources and recreational safety on the Gull Chain of Lakes. The Association has been involved in numerous activities including water quality monitoring, education, promotion of safety, buoys, fishing and supporting local business.

3 The information below describes available chemical data for site 101 on Gull Lake through The data set is limited, and all parameters, with the exception of total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and Secchi depth, are means for just 1989 and 2004 data. Minnesota is divided into seven ecoregions based on land use, vegetation, precipitation and geology. The MPCA has developed a way to determine the "average range" of water quality expected for lakes in each ecoregion. For more information on ecoregions and expected water quality ranges, see page 11. Parameter Mean Ecoregion Range 1 Total phosphorus (ug/l) > 35 Chlorophyll a (ug/l) > 12 Chlorophyll a max (ug/l) 10.1 <15 Secchi depth (ft) < 4.5 Impaired Waters Standard 2 Interpretation Results are within the expected range for the ecoregion. For more information about Impaired Waters Assessment, see page 12. Dissolved oxygen see page 8 Dissolved oxygen depth profiles show that the deep areas of the lake are anoxic in late summer. Total Kieldahl Nitrogen Indicates insufficient nitrogen to support summer nitrogen-induced (mg/l) algae blooms. Alkalinity (mg/l) Indicates a low sensitivity to acid rain and a good buffering capacity. Color (Pt-Co Units) Indicates very clear water with little to no tannins (brown stain). ph Characteristic of a hard water lake. Lake water with ph less than 6.5 can affect fish spawning and the solubility of metals in the water. Chloride (mg/l) Slightly above the ecoregion average but still considered low level. Total Suspended Solids 2.9 <1-2 Slightly above the ecoregion average but still considered low (mg/l) level. Conductivity (umhos/cm) Within the ecoregion average range. Total Nitrogen :Total Phosphorus 33:1 25:1 35:1 Indicates the lake is phosphorus limited, which means that algae growth is limited by the amount of phosphorus in the lake.

5 Transparency (Secchi Depth) Transparency is how easily light can pass through a substance. In lakes, it is how deep sunlight penetrates through the water. Plants and algae need sunlight to grow, so they are only able to grow in areas of lakes where the sun penetrates. Water transparency depends on the amount of particles in the water. An increase in particulates results in a decrease in transparency. The transparency varies year-to-year due to changes in weather, precipitation, lake use, flooding, temperature, lake levels, etc. Site 205, at the south end of the main bay, had higher mean transparencies than site 206 in Booming Out Bay. The annual means for Gull range from ft (Figure 3). Transparency was highest in and transparency was lower than the previous years. For trend analysis, see page Transparency: Annual Means Secchi Depth (ft) Site 101 Site 205 Site 206 Site Figure 3. Annual mean transparency for sites 101, 205, 206 and 209. Gull Lake transparency ranges from 4.5 to 20 feet throughout the summer. This range is indicative of a dynamic lake. Figure 4 shows the seasonal transparency dynamics. Gull Lake transparency is highest in early June, declines steadily throughout the summer, and then rebounds somewhat in late September-early October. Some lakes vary throughout the summer (dynamic lakes) while some lakes stay constant. The transparency dynamics have to do with algae population dynamics and lake turnover.

6 Figure 4. Seasonal transparency dynamics and year-to-year comparison (site 206). Lines connect the data for the past five years ( ). User Perceptions When volunteers collect Secchi depth readings, they record their perceptions of the water based on the physical appearance and the recreational suitability. These perceptions can be compared to water quality parameters to see how the lake "user" would experience the lake at that time. Looking at transparency data, as the Secchi depth decreases, the perception of the lake's physical appearance rating decreases. Gull Lake was rated as being "not quite crystal clear" 61% of the time between , and (Figure 5). 4% 0% Physical Appearance Rating 35% Crystal clear water 35% 61% Not quite crystal clear a little algae visible 4% Definite algae green, yellow, or brown color apparent 61% 0% High algae levels with limited clarity and/or mild odor apparent 0% Severely high algae levels Figure 5.

7 As the Secchi depth decreases, the perception of recreational suitability of the lake decreases. Gull Lake was rated as being "beautiful" 46% of the time from , and (Figure 6). 3% 1% Recreational Suitability Rating 46% Beautiful, could not be better 50% 46% 50% Very minor aesthetic problems; excellent for swimming, boating 3% Swimming and aesthetic enjoyment of the lake slightly impaired because of algae levels 1% Desire to swim and level of enjoyment of the lake substantially reduced because of algae levels 0% Swimming and aesthetic enjoyment of the lake nearly impossible because of algae levels Figure 6. Recreational suitability rating, as rated by the volunteer monitor ( , and ). Total Phosphorus Gull Lake is phosphorus limited, which means that algae and aquatic plant growth is dependent upon available phosphorus. Total phosphorus was evaluated in Gull Lake in , 1989, , 2004, 2007 and Figure 7 shows all phosphorus data since The data indicate a slight increase in phosphorus toward the end of the summer. Figure 7. Historical total phosphorus concentrations (ug/l) for Gull Lake (data sets from 2004, 2007, and 2008). Site 206, in Booming Out Bay, has slightly higher phosphorus concentrations than the main basin. Steamboat Bay (201) and Wilson Bay (209) have similar phosphorus concentrations to the main basin (101). Phosphorus should continue to be monitored to track any future changes in water quality. Gull Lake Report generation: RMB Environmental Laboratories 7 of 12

8 Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll a is the pigment that makes plants and algae green. Chlorophyll a is tested in lakes to determine the algae concentration or how "green" the water is. Chlorophyll a concentrations greater than 10 ug/l are perceived as a mild algae bloom, while concentrations greater than 20 ug/l are perceived as a nuisance. Chlorophyll a was evaluated in Gull Lake in , 1989, , 2004, 2007 and Figure 8 Figure 8. Historical chlorophyll a concentrations (ug/l) for Gull Lake (data sets from 2004, 2007, and 2008). shows all phosphorus data since Chlorophyll a concentrations for Wilson Bay (209) remained below 10 ug/l, indicating clear water most of the summer. At the remaining sites, the chlorophyll a concentrations exceeded 10 ug/l, which indicates mild algae blooms toward the end of the summer. Dissolved Oxygen Depth 9 (m) Dissolved Oxygen (mg/l) Dissolved oxygen (DO) is the amount of oxygen dissolved in lake water. Oxygen is necessary for all living organisms to survive, except for some bacteria. Living organisms breathe oxygen that is dissolved in the water. Dissolved oxygen levels of <5 mg/l are typically avoided by game fish. Gull Lake is a relatively deep lake, with a maximum depth of 80 ft. Dissolved oxygen profiles from , 1989 and 2004 indicate that the three main bays (Main, Wilson, Steamboat) stratify in the summer. Benthic phosphorus samples taken in 1989 and 2004 indicate that internal loading occurs ( ug/l). Figure 9 illustrates stratification in the summer of 2004 in all three bays. The thermocline exists around 9-10 meters (30-33 ft) Figure 9. Dissolved oxygen profile for Gull Lake on August 26, Gull Lake 20 Report generation: RMB Environmental Laboratories 8 of 12

9 Trophic State Index Phosphorus (nutrients), Site 101 chlorophyll a (algae Trophic State Index Main concentration) and Secchi Basin depth (transparency) are related. As phosphorus increases, there is more food available for algae, resulting in increased algal concentrations. When algal concentrations increase, the water becomes less transparent and the Secchi depth decreases. The results from these three measurements cover different units and ranges and thus cannot be directly compared to each other or averaged. In order to standardize these three measurements to make them directly comparable, we convert them to a trophic state index (TSI). The mean TSI for Gull Lake falls in the Gull Lake mesotrophic range (Figure 10). There is good agreement between the TSI for phosphorus, chlorophyll a and transparency, indicating that these variables are strongly related. The TSI for chlorophyll a was higher than that of total phosphorus and transparency for most of the bays. Booming Out Bay has the highest TSI, which is approaching eutrophic conditions (TSI 50). Mesotrophic lakes (TSI 40-50) are characterized by moderately clear water most of the summer. "Meso" means middle or mid; therefore, mesotrophic means a medium amount of productivity. Mesotrophic lakes are Site 206 Booming Out Bay Site 209 Wilson Bay Hypereutrophic Eutrophic Mesotrophic Oligotrophic commonly found in central Minnesota and have clear water with some algal blooms in late summer. Mesotrophic lakes can also be good walleye lakes.

10 Trend Analysis For detecting trends, a minimum of 8-10 years of data with 4 or more readings per season are recommended. Minimum confidence accepted by the MPCA is 90%. This means that there is a 90% chance that the data are showing a true trend and a 10% chance that the trend is a random result of the data. Only short-term trends can be determined with just a few years of data, because there can be different wet years and dry years, water levels, weather, etc., that affect the water quality naturally. There is not enough historical data to perform trend analysis for total phosphorus or chlorophyll a on Gull Lake. Site 205 in the south end of the main basin and site 206 in Booming Out Bay have over 8 years of transparency data, which is enough data to perform a short-term and long-term trend analysis. The data was analyzed using the Mann Kendall Trend Analysis. Lake Site Parameter Date Range Trend Probability 205 Transparency Improving 99.9% 205 Transparency No Trend Transparency Declining 99% 206 Transparency Declining 99.9% Figure 11. Transparency trend (ft) for site 206 from Sites 206 shows a statistically significant declining trend in transparency from and from (Figure 11). The transparency has declined an average of approximately 1.5 feet since Site 205 shows an improving trend from , but no trend from Transparency monitoring should continue at both sites so that this trend can be tracked in future years.

11 Ecoregion Comparisons Minnesota is divided into seven ecoregions based on land use, vegetation, precipitation and geology. The MPCA has developed a way to determine the "average range" of water quality expected for lakes in each ecoregion. From , the MPCA evaluated the lake water quality for reference lakes. These reference lakes are not considered pristine, but are considered to have little human impact and therefore are representative of the typical lakes within the ecoregion. The "average range" refers to the 25 th - 75 th percentile range for data within each ecoregion. For the purpose of this graphical representation, the means of the reference lake data sets were used. Gull Lake is in the Northern Lakes and Forests Ecoregion. The mean total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and transparency (Secchi depth) for Gull Lake are all within the expected ecoregion ranges (Figures 12a-c) Total Phosphorus (ug/l, ppb) Chlorophyll-a (ug/l, ppb) Secchi depth (ft) increased algae crystal clear a 0 NLF Ecoregion Gull Lake b 0 NLF Ecoregion Gull Lake c 25 NLF Ecoregion Gull Lake Figures 12a-c. Gull Lake ranges compared to Northern Lakes and Forest Ecoregion ranges. The Gull Lake total phosphorus and chlorophyll a ranges are from 33 and 29 data points, respectively, collected in May- September of , 1989, 2004, and The Gull Lake Secchi depth range is from 689 data points collected in May-September from Gull Lake Report generation: RMB Environmental Laboratories 11 of 12

12 Inlet/Outlet Data Assessment Margaret Lake, which is just west of Gull Lake, is on the Impaired Waters List for eutrophication. This means that there is more phosphorus and algae in the lake than there should be. Margaret Lake flows into Upper Gull Lake and then Gull Lake. As a part of the further investigation of this area, six tributaries were monitored from April 2007 to October 2008 for total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP) (Table 1). The results showed that Lazy Brook had the highest TSS concentrations, and Home Brook had the highest TP concentrations. Efforts to control phosphorus should be focused on Home Brook and the Home Brook Watershed. Assessment/Findings Recommendations Transparency Transparency monitoring at sites 205 and 206 should be continued annually. It is important to continue transparency monitoring weekly, or at least bimonthly, every year to enable year-to-year comparisons and trend analyses. Impaired Waters Assessment 303(d) List There are two main types of Impaired Waters Assessment for lakes: eutrophication (excess phosphorus) for aquatic recreation and mercury in fish tissue for aquatic consumption. Gull Lake was listed as impaired for mercury in fish tissue in the 2006 Impaired Waters List; however, it is part of the statewide mercury TMDL, so it was removed from the 2008 Impaired Waters List. Gull Lake is not listed as impaired for eutrophication; however, Lake Margaret, just up stream, is listed as impaired for eutrophication. Aquatic Recreational Use Assessment 305(b) In the 2008 MPCA Aquatic Use Assessment (305(b)), Gull Lake was classified as being fully supporting for Aquatic Recreational Use. Inlet/Outlet Assessment To enhance the inlet/outlet data set, flow data could be collected so that phosphorus loading could be calculated. This data could be used for a mass balance study, which would answer questions about nutrient loading into the lake and nutrient budget within the lake.
