§935.1 Adopting Order
Pursuant to article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law, after proper study and following public hearings held on due notice, the Department of Environmental Conservation hereby adopts and assigns the following classifications and standards of quality and purity to all surface waters within the designated drainage basins of Upper East River and Long Island Sound within Queens, Bronx and Westchester Counties, as hereinafter described.
§935.2 Designated Waters
The designated waters are located as shown on Map 1, section 935.7, infra, and as contained within the topographical or basin limit line on the reproduced topographical reference maps in section 935.9, infra.
§935.3 Definitions
(2) This system was applied to the waters under consideration by the New York State Conservation Department in its Biological Survey of the Lower Hudson Watershed and Biological Survey of the Fresh Waters of Long Island in 1936 and 1938, respectively, and has been closely followed in connection with the numerical identification of the waters with the following exceptions: Some of the stream numbers do not run consecutively due to the omission of streams originally shown on the older maps employed by the Conservation Department at the time of its 1936 and 1938 surveys but not shown on later editions of maps reproduced herein. Conversely, streams, lakes and ponds not shown on the older maps but appearing on the newer maps are designated by suffix letters a, b, c, etc.
(3) The system as applied to the identification of the designated waters may be outlined as follows: Streams draining Long Island proper are identified by waters index numbers prefixed by the abbreviation "LI." Streams draining the mainland and entering Long Island Sound are identified by waters index numbers prefixed by the abbreviation "LIS". Waters of the East River are identified by waters index numbers prefixed by "ER".
(4) The following table will illustrate how the designated waters may be identified through use of the waters index system:
The third tributary entering East River above the mouth.
ER 3-22
The 22nd tributary entering the Bronx River.
ER 3-22-4-P 1055
Grassy Sprain Reservoir (located on the fourth tributary of Grassy Sprain Brook)
The 1,055th pond or lake encountered in the biological survey area of the Lower Hudson River watershed.
ER (10.1)
A point on the East River ten and one-tenth miles above the mouth.
The eighth tributary entering Long Island Sound encountered in a clockwise direction from Throgs Point.
The 12th stream encountered on Long Island proceeding in a clockwise direction around the island from Fort Hamilton.
(5) There are instances where a parenthetical decimal number appears following the name. Such number appearing within the parentheses indicates the distance in miles above the mouth to a point on the identified watercourse.
(d) Name as appearing in Table I shall mean the name by which the specifically designated waters are known and which may appear on the reference maps. In cases of specifically designated waters which have no name, the named waters to which the unnamed waters are tributary are identified as far as possible.
(f) Map Ref. No. as appearing in Table I, means map reference number and indicates one or more of the following numbered maps reproduced herein completely or in part, on which maps the specifically designated waters and their index numbers are shown within the topographical limit line of the described drainage basins or areas. An index for map numbers is shown on Map 2, section 935.8, infra. The following maps were produced from original maps which may be procured through the Washington Distribution Section, Geological Survey, Silver Spring, Maryland:
Q-25sw
(g) Class, as appearing in Table I and denoted by the letters AA, A, B, C, D, SA, SB, SC or SD or the Roman numeral I opposite each specifically designated waters, shall mean Class AA, A, B, C, D, SA, SB, SC, SD or I, as the case may be, as set forth in Part 701, supra. .
(h) Standards, as appearing in Table I and denoted by the letters AA, A, B, C, D, SA, SB, SC or SD or the Roman numeral I opposite each specifically designated waters, shall mean the quality standards established for Class AA, A, B, C, D, SA, SB, SC, SD or I, as the case may be, as set forth in Parts 701, supra. The symbol (T) appearing after any class designation shall mean that the designated waters are trout waters and that the dissolved oxygen specification for trout waters shall apply thereto. The symbol (TS) after any class designation shall mean that the designated waters are suitable for trout spawning and that the dissolved oxygen specification for trout spawning waters shall apply thereto.
§935.4 Special Conditions
(c) All references to mile distances are in statute miles.
