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 assigned to any designated waters
					 for the purpose of identification.
(1) The
					 numbering or index system used to identify specific waters of New York was
					 adapted from that used by the New York State Conservation Department in its
					 stocking lists. The primary waters of a drainage basin, a stream or large lake,
					 is referred to by name or abbreviation. Ponds and lakes are numbered
					 consecutively as they are encountered, such number being preceded by the letter
					 P. This system also involves the consecutive numbering or tributaries as they
					 enter a stream, progressing upstream from the mouth. Tributaries of lakes or
					 ponds are numbered consecutively as they enter, progressing clockwise around
					 the lake or pond from its outlet or mouth. Isolated lakes and ponds are
					 referenced by a waters index number 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 "Revised Stocking
					 List of the Genesee River System - March 1952" 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 the list's publication 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 Upper Genesee River drainage basin may be
					 illustrated as follows:
