Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The several terms, words or phrases hereinafter mentioned
						shall be construed as follows:
(a)
					 Item no. In table I an item number is assigned consecutively to each
					 specifically designated waters.
(b)
					 Waters index number as appearing in table I shall mean that number which has
					 been applied to any specifically designated waters which appear on map 2,
					 section
					 820.6, infra.
(c) Name as appearing in table I shall mean
					 the name, if any, by which the specifically designated waters are generally
					 known and which name, if any appears on the reference map. In cases of
					 specifically designated waters which have no name, the name tributary to which
					 the unnamed waters are tributary is indicated so far as possible.
(d) Description as appearing in table I shall
					 mean a brief indication as to location of the specifically designated waters so
					 that by referring to the reference map such waters may be located without
					 reference to their waters index numbers. Entries under column headed
					 "Description" also include designations of a section of a stream to which a
					 particular assignment of a class and standards shall apply.
(e) Class as appearing in table I, and
					 denoted by the letters B or C, opposite each specifically designated waters,
					 shall mean class B or C, as the case may be, as set forth in Parts 701 and 702,
					 supra.
(f) Standards as appearing
					 in table I, as the letters B or C, opposite each specifically designated
					 waters, shall mean the standards of quality and purity established for class B
					 or C, as the case may be, as set forth in Parts 701 and 702, supra.
(g) Tributary or 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. In the table under column headed "Waters
					 Index Number" where no tributaries are mentioned, the specifically designated
					 waters shall include only the stream, pond, or other body of water designated
					 by such waters index number; where tributaries are mentioned after the waters
					 index number the specifically designated waters shall include the stream, pond,
					 or other body of water designated by such waters index number and all
					 tributaries and subtributaries, thereof, which are shown on the reference maps,
					 unless exceptions are expressly stated.
(h) Map ref. No. Map 2, section
					 820.6, infra, is a
					 composite of four adjacent New York topographical quadrangles; namely,
					 Rochester, West, Rochester East Genesee Junction, and Mendon Ponds. These are
					 of the 7 1/2 minute series having scales of 1:24,000, published by the U.S.
					 Geological Survey, 1935 editions.
(i) All streams or other bodies of water
					 which appear as lines, to indicate natural waters, on the reference maps
					 herein, and which are not specifically designated in table I, shall be assigned
					 the same classes and standards of quality and purity as the specifically
					 designated waters to which they are directly tributary.
(j) All streams or other bodies of water
					 which are not shown on the reference maps herein shall be assigned to class D,
					 as set forth in Part 701, supra, except that any continuous flowing natural
					 stream which is not shown on the reference maps shall have the same
					 classification and assigned standards as the waters to which it is directly
					 tributary.
(k) The Lower Genesee
					 River drainage basin shall be deemed to include the following: the Genesee
					 River between its junction with Lake Ontario and the south bank of the Barge
					 Canal and all land and water areas, the natural surface water drainage from
					 which [it] is directly or indirectly tributary to the Genesee River in this
					 section, and including that portion of the Barge Canal within the Genesee River
					 drainage area.
(l) The term trout
					 as used in this Part means any fish in the following genera: "Coregonus",
