Lake Winnibigoshish 11-0147-00 ITASCA AND CASS COUNTIES

Summary

Lake Winnibigoshish is located at the city of Bena, MN, and spans both Cass and Itasca Counties. It covers 56,470 acres and is the 4th largest lake in in terms of surface area.

The enters and exits Lake Winnibigoshish. The lake water levels are affected by the operation of a dam on the Mississippi River at the lake outlet, and are managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under their general water management plan for the Mississippi River Headwaters. The Corp's water level management plan lists downstream commercial navigation, Leech Lake Chippewa Treaty resource rights, and recreational management priorities.

Water quality data have been collected on Lake Winnibigoshish on and off since 1976. 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. Large mesotrophic lakes are excellent walleye lakes. Lake Winnibigoshish water quality and morphometry is similar to Mille Lacs and the main basin of Leech Lake, which are some of the best walleye lakes in the state of Minnesota.

Lake Winnibigoshish water quality is managed by the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Division of Resource Management, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Cass County Environmental Services Department and the Itasca Soil and Water Conservation District.

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.

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.

Transparency has only been monitored throughout the growing season (May-September) in 1976- 1977 and 2008. The transparency for these three years is relatively similar (Figure 3). The DNR has collected transparency data annually in July-August, but this data only represents one data point per year, so it was not used in this analysis.

Transparency monitoring should be continued annually at sites 201 and 101 in order to track water quality changes. Since Lake Winnibigoshish is so large, each site can be monitored by a different volunteer, and the volunteers can make up a water quality task force.

Figure 3. Historical transparency data for Lake Winnibigoshish.

Lake Winnibigoshish transparency ranges from 5 to 13 ft at site 201. Figure 4 shows the seasonal transparency dynamics. Lake Winnibigoshish transparency is highest in May and then decreases throughout the summer. As with many lakes in northern Minnesota, transparency recovered somewhat in September-October. Transparency dynamics are related to algae population dynamics and lake turnover.

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. Lake Winnibigoshish was rated as being "not quite crystal clear " 72% of the time in 1999 and 2008 (Figure 5).

Physical Appearance Rating 14% 14% 14% Crystal clear water

72% Not quite crystal clear – a little algae visible

14% Definite algae – green, yellow, or brown color apparent

Total Phosphorus

Lake Winnibigoshish is phosphorus limited, which means that algae and aquatic plant growth is dependent upon available phosphorus.

Total phosphorus was evaluated in Lake Winnibigoshish in 1994, 1999, and 2008 (Figure 7). The data indicate that phosphorus concentrations are relatively uniform within the lake, and the majority of the data fit within one standard deviation of the mean.

Chlorophyll a concentrations followed a pattern that is consistent with the transparency results; concentrations started low in May, peaked in late August and then decreased in late September.

At most sites the chlorophyll a concentration reached 10 ug/L, indicating minor algae blooms, but remained below 20 ug/L (nuisance algae blooms).

As phosphorus increases, there is more food available for algae, resulting in increased algal concentrations. When algal concentrations 100 increase, the water becomes less transparent and the Secchi depth decreases. Hypereutrophic

Lake Winnibigoshish Mesotrophic 40 Mesotrophic lakes (TSI 40-50) are characteristic of moderately clear water most of the summer. "Meso" means middle or mid; therefore, mesotrophic means a medium amount of productivity. Oligotrophic Mesotrophic lakes are commonly found in north central Minnesota and have clear water with the chance for some algal blooms in late summer. 0 Large mesotrophic lakes are also excellent walleye lakes.

Trend Analysis

For detecting trends, a minimum of 8-10 years of data with 4 or more readings per season are recommended. 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, chlorophyll a or transparency in Lake Winnibigoshish.

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 1985-1988, 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 25th - 75th percentile range for data within each ecoregion. For the purpose of this graphical representation, the means of the reference lake data sets were used.

Lake Winnibigoshish is in the Northern Lakes and Forests Ecoregion. The mean total phosphorus, chlorophyll a are within the expected ecoregion ranges (Figures 11 a-b). The Secchi depth is slightly above the ecoregion range; however the Secchi depth data is limited (Figure 11c).

Lake Winnibigoshish Report generation: RMB Environmental Laboratories 10 of 13 Inlet/Outlet Data Assessment

From 1999-2000 data was collected through the /Lake Winnibigoshish Clean Water Partnership (CWP) Problem investigation, whose purpose was to study nonpoint source pollution and develop an implementation plan to protect the aquatic resources within the watershed. A report was compiled in 2001 (Persell 2001).

The CWP project came to the following conclusions. The CWP assessment showed water quality in this watershed is still good. However, long-term threats to water quality include shoreline development, forest management, riparian corridor fragmentation, and other diffuse sources of Figure 12. Stream site locations around Lake non-point source pollution. Improving land Winnibigoshish. management choices, coordinating land- management activities, structural controls, and restoration activities are among the tools that will ensure long term health for the water resources in this area.

The 2001 report included analyses for the lake taking the phosphorus loading data into account (Table 1). The results showed that the majority of phosphorus loading to Lake Winnibigoshish comes from tributaries and precipitation (Figure 13).

The tributary data showed that the Mississippi River contributes 79% of the tributary volume to Lake Winnibigoshish, but only half of the tributary phosphorus. The substantial, relatively unimpacted, wetland drainage contributes the remaining tributary phosphorus in 21% of the tributary volume. Half of the phosphorus load to Lake Winnibigoshish came from precipitation, which is common in lakes with very large surface areas (Figure 13).

The tributary data for this project spans 5/19/1999 – 5/26/2000, and samples were collected each month all through the winter. The concentrations of the parameters collected are compared to each other and the Northern Lakes and Forest Ecoregion average in Table 2.

Assessment/Findings Recommendations

Transparency Transparency monitoring should be continued annually at sites 101 and 201. Since Lake Winnibigoshish is so large, each site can be monitored by a different volunteer, and the volunteers can make up a water quality task force. 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. Lake Winnibigoshish 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. Lake Winnibigoshish has insufficient data to complete the assessment for eutrophication. The 2008 data will count toward the next assessment in 2010, and one more year of monitoring data is needed to complete the required assessment data set.

Aquatic Recreational Use Assessment 305(b) In the 2008 MPCA Aquatic Use Assessment (305(b)), Lake Winnibigoshish was classified having insufficient data for assessment. The data requirements are the same as the Impaired Waters Assessment above.

Inlet/Outlet Assessment It may be beneficial to do a full assessment of all main inlets and outlets again since it has been 10 years since the last assessment. Since tributary contributions to the lake can change throughout the years, it is important to periodically re-check these sites to determine if any changes in loading have occurred.
