§859.1 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 basin of the Saw Mill River within Westchester County as hereinafter described.
§859.2 Definitions and Conditions
The several terms, words or phrases herein after mentioned shall be construed as follows:
(1) The numbering of index system used to identify specific waters of New York State was adapted from that used by the New York State Conservation Department in its biological survey series of reports on watersheds of the State. The primary waters of a drainage basin, such as rivers or large lakes are usually referred to by name or an abbreviation. Tributaries of primary waters are consecutively numbered progressing upstream from the mouth. Ponds and lakes are numbered consecutively as they are encountered, such numbers being preceded by the letter P. Tributaries of such lakes and ponds are numbered consecutively as they enter, progressing clockwise around the lake or pond from its outlet or mouth. When isolated lakes and ponds are referenced by a waters index number, it is merely for convenience of their identification and location within a subdrainage basin, and it is not necessarily indicative of their being tributary to any waters to which no surface connection is shown on the reference maps.
(2) This system was applied to the basin under consideration by the Conservation Department in its biological survey of the Saw Mill River watershed and has been closely followed in connection with the 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 older maps employed by the Conservation Department at the time of its survey, but not shown on newer maps reproduced herein. Conversely, a few streams not shown on the older maps but appearing on the newer maps are designated by the letters a, b, c, etc.
(3) The system as applied to the identification of waters in the Saw Mill River drainage basin may be illustrated as follows:

(f) Map ref. no. as appearing in table I of this Part means map reference number and indicates one or more of the following numbered maps reproduced herein completely, or in part, on which the specifically designated waters and their index numbers are shown. The following maps were produced from original maps which may be procured through the Washington Distribution Section, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

(g) Class as appearing in table I, and denoted by the letters SB, A, B, C or D opposite each specifically designated waters, shall mean class SB, A, B, C or D, as the case may be, as set forth in Part 701, supra.
(h) Standards as appearing in table I, and denoted by the letters SB, A, B, C or D, opposite each specifically designated waters shall mean the standards of quality and purity established for class SB, A, B, C or D, or as the case may be, as set forth in Part 701, supra. The symbol (T) appearing after any standard 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 standard 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.
(i) The term trout as used in this Part means any fish in the following genera: Coregonus, Oncorhynchus, Prosopium, Salmo, Salvelinus , and Thymallus.
(l) The Saw Mill River drainage basin shall be deemed to include the following areas: all land and water areas, the natural surface water drainage from which is directly or indirectly tributary to the Saw Mill River.
