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 of this Part an item number is assigned to
					 each specifically designated waters or portions thereof.
(b)
Waters index number
as
					 appearing in table I of this Part 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 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 Lower Esopus 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 newer maps are designated by the letters a, b, c, etc.
(3) The system as applied to the
					 identification of waters in the Lower Esopus Creek drainage basin may be
					 illustrated as follows:
