New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter X - DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES › Subchapter B - CLASSES AND STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND PURITY ASSIGNED TO FRESH SURFACE AND TIDAL SALT WATERS › Article 14 - OSWEGO RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN SERIES › Part 896 - SKANEATELES CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN › Section 896.2 - Definitions and conditions

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 to each
						specifically designated waters or portions thereof.
(b)
Waters Index Number
as
					 appearing in table I shall mean that number or abbreviation which has been
					 assigned to any specifically designated waters or portions thereof for the
					 purpose of identification.
(1) The numbering
					 or index system used to identify specific waters of New York State is 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 Skaneateles Creek 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 new maps are
					 designated by the letters a, b, c, etc.
(3) The system as applied to the
					 identification of waters in the Skaneateles Creek drainage basin may be
					 illustrated as follows:
