Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The terms, words, or phrases used in this Part shall
						have the meanings described below:
(a)
					 "Item no." In table I, the waters within the Lake Champlain drainage basin are
					 listed for purposes of classification. For ease of reference, each listing in
					 the table has been assigned an "item number."
(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 was adapted from that
					 used by the Department in its biological survey series of reports on the
					 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 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 drainage 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 Department in its biological
					 survey of the Lake Champlain 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 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 Lake Champlain drainage basin may be
					 illustrated as follows:
"Waters index number"
"Name of waters"
"Explanation"
