§891.1 Adopting Order
(a) Pursuant to article 12 of the Public Health Law, the Water Resources Commission, after proper study and following public hearings held on due notice, hereby adopts and assigns the following classifications and standards of quality and purity to all surface waters within the designated drainage basin of Jamaica Bay, including a designated area tributary to New York Bay within Kings and Queens Counties as hereinafter described.
(b) This adoption and assignment of standards of quality and purity to the above-designated waters shall be effective January 31, 1966.
§891.2 Designated Waters
(1) Jamaica Bay drainage basin within Kings and Queens Counties and including Rockaway Inlet east of a north-south line drawn from Light Inlet at the southeasterly tip of Coney Island peninsula near Manhattan Beach to the westerly shoreline west of Lookout Tower on Rockaway Point; and
(2) a designated area within Kings County tributary to New York Bay and bounded on the east by the west limit line of Jamaica Bay drainage basin; thence bounded on the south by Shore Parkway; thence bounded on the west by Fourth Avenue; and thence bounded on the north by the south limit line of the Lower East River drainage basin.
(b) The above-designated waters are located as shown on Map 1, section 891.7, infra, and as contained within the topographical or basin limit line on the reproduced topographical reference maps in section 891.9, infra.
§891.3 Definitions
(b) Waters index number, as appearing in Table I, shall mean that number or abbreviation assigned to any designated waters or portion thereof for the purpose of identification.
(2) This system was applied to the waters under consideration by the New York State Conservation Department in its Biological Survey of the Fresh Waters of Long Island in 1938, 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 1938 survey 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: The index used to identify the designated waters is based on the system of numbering the fresh waters draining Long Island proper. The streams of Long Island have been consecutively numbered starting at Fort Hamilton and proceeding in a clockwise direction around the island, such numbers being prefixed by the abbreviation LI. However, certain bays and inlets have not been referenced by this numbering system, but are cited by name and description.
(4) The following table will illustrate how the designated waters may be identified through the use of the waters index system:
Jamaica Bay Rockaway Inlet Gerritsen Inlet Dead Horse Bay
Waters identified by name and description and not used to index tributaries.
LI 249
The 249th stream encountered on Long Island proceeding in a clockwise direction around the island from Fort Hamilton.
LI 249-2
The second tributary proceeding upstream from the mouth of Old Mill Creek.
LI 241-1-P 1023
Gonselyeas Pond
The 1023rd pond or lake encountered in the Long Island waters index system. The body of water is on the first tributary of LI 241 (Hook Creek).
(c) The abbreviations trib. and tribs., indicating tributary and tributaries, shall mean any stream, pond or other body of surface water which flows into any other stream, pond or other body of surface water; where no tributary or tributaries are mentioned, the specifically designated waters shall include only the stream, pond or other body of water referenced by such waters index number; where a tributary or tributaries are mentioned after the waters index number, the specifically designated waters shall include the stream, pond or other body of water referenced by such waters index number and all tributaries thereof, which are shown on the reference maps, excluding numbered ponds, unless exceptions as expressly stated.
(d) Name, as appearing in Table I, shall mean the name by which the specifically designated waters are known and which name 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 in section 891.9, infra, 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. Index for map numbers is shown on Map 2, section 891.8, infra. The following maps were produced from original maps which may be procured through the Washington Distribution Section, Geological Survey, Silver Spring, Maryland.
(g) Class, as appearing in Table I and denoted by the letters B, C, SB or Roman numeral I opposite each specifically designated waters, shall means Class B, C or SB, as the case may be, as set forth in Part 701, supra; and in the case of Roman numeral I shall mean Class I, as set forth in Part 702, supra.
(h) Standards, as appearing in Table I and denoted by the letters B, C, SB or Roman numeral I opposite each specifically designated waters, shall mean the quality standards established for Class B, C, SB or I, as the case may be, established by the aforementioned rules.
