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 water or portions thereof.
(b)
Waters index no.
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 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 Wappinger 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 Wappinger Creek drainage basin may be
					 illustrated as follows:
