1 GROUNDWATER DISCHARGE: A SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS TO LAKE LOCHLOOSA? Presented by Margaret Murray April 18, FSU Participants: Natasha Dimova, Ben Mwashote, Bill Burnett, Jeff Chanton DEP Participants: Rick Hicks, Paul Lee, Tom Biernacki, Pete Folland, Nicole Beierle, Brooke Tweedy

2 Overview Objectives Description of Lake Lochloosa Why study Lake Lochloosa? Sampling methods Preliminary Results

3 Objectives Determine if groundwater is a major source of nutrients to the lake Sample for nutrients in surficial aquifer Assess different methods to study groundwater inputs Estimate groundwater seepage to lake Jeff Chanton Bill Burnett

4 Lake Lochloosa Near Gainesville and Ocala Lake 5,705 acres, Little 2,642 acres Shallow, flat bottomed, dark water, floating vegetation, muck bottom Karst, perforated, Hawthorn clay Watershed about 52,000 acres Most surface water flows from north, through creek Land use: forest, wetland, wildlife area, agriculture, residential area

5 Lake Lochloosa Near Gainesville and Ocala Lake 5,705 acres, Little 2,642 acres Shallow, flat bottomed, dark water, floating vegetation, muck bottom Karst, perforated, Hawthorn clay Watershed about 52,000 acres Most surface water flows from north, through creek Land use: forest, wetland, wildlife area, agriculture, residential area

6 Lake Lochloosa Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) Lake Lochloosa is a Special Water. Meets requirements for exceptional recreational or ecological significance. Aquatic and wetland wildlife habitats

7 Why Study Lake Lochloosa? Outstanding Florida Water Impaired Water Body Nutrients fluctuate but have been high during period of record Long term average: Total Phosphorus Total Nitrogen Chlorophyll Trophic State Index mg/l 2.18 mg/l 82 µg/l 77

8 Impaired Waters Rule (IWR) Impaired Water - Waterbody does not meet water quality standard for its designated use Clean Water Act and Florida Watershed Restoration Act require DEP to identify impaired waters and prioritize restoration DEP, WMDs, counties, volunteers monitor waters and add to database. Add additional data for verified list. Florida does not have SW standard for N and P. Nutrients shall not be altered to cause imbalance in natural populations of aquatic flora or fauna

9 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) The maximum amount of a given pollutant that a waterbody can assimilate without exceeding applicable water quality standards. Consider point sources, nonpoint sources and natural background. Assess all loadings in watershed, not just individual sources

10 Lochloosa TMDL TMDL - Recommended load reductions for Nitrogen and Phosphorus Working with stakeholders to develop a Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) Uncertainties associated with hydrologic inputs, sources and the origins of nutrients in the lake Anthropogenic sources Natural sources Is groundwater the source of nutrients?
