Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The several terms, words or phrases hereinafter mentioned
						shall be construed as follows:
(a)
Class
as appearing in tables I through VI, inclusive, as the
					 letters A, B or C opposite each specifically designated waters, means class A,
					 B or C, as the case may be, as set forth in Part 701,
supra.
(b)
Standards
as appearing in tables I through VI, inclusive, as
					 the letters A, B or C opposite each specifically designated waters, shall mean
					 the standards of quality and purity established for class A, B or C, as the
					 case may be, as set forth in Part 701,
supra.
The symbol (T)
					 after any class designation shall mean that the designated waters are trout
					 waters and that the dissolved oxygen specification for trout waters shall apply
					 thereto. The symbol (TS) after any class designation shall mean that the
					 designated waters are suitable for trout spawning and that the dissolved oxygen
					 specification for trout spawning waters shall apply thereto.
(c)
Waters index number
as
					 appearing in tables I to VI, inclusive, shall mean that number which has been
					 applied to any specifically designated waters appearing on the maps set forth
					 in section 800.11,
infra.
(d)
Name
as appearing in tables I to VI, inclusive, shall mean the
					 name, if any, by which the specifically designated waters are generally known
					 and which name, if any, appears on the reference maps. In cases of specifically
					 designated waters which have no name, the named tributary to which the unnamed
					 waters are tributary is indicated so far as possible. In the tables in the
					 column headed "Name", the unnamed water to which an unnamed tributary is
					 directly tributary is referenced so far as possible to a specific item number.
					 In the tables, an item number is assigned conclusively to each specifically
					 designated waters.
(e)
Description
as appearing in tables I to VI, inclusive, shall
					 mean a brief indication as to location of the specifically designated waters so
					 that by reference to reference maps such waters may be located without
					 reference to their waters index numbers. Entries under the column headed
					 "Description" also include designations of sections of a stream to which a
					 particular assignment of a class and standards shall apply.
(f)
Map Ref. No.
The numbers appearing in the tables under this heading
						designate the following maps which have been partially reproduced as maps 2 to
						9, inclusive, with superimposed tracing in black of streams and other waters
						and waters index numbers, in section

Tributary or tributaries.
Tributary
shall mean any stream, lake,
						pond or other body of surface water which flows into any other stream, lake,
						pond or other body of surface water. In the tables under the column headed
						"Waters Index Number" where no tributaries are mentioned, the specifically
						designated waters shall include only the stream, pond or other body of water
						designated by such waters index number; where tributaries are mentioned after
						the waters index number, the specifically designated waters shall include the
						stream, pond or other body of water designated by such waters index number and
						all tributaries and subtributaries thereof which are shown on the reference
						maps, unless exceptions are expressly stated.
(h) All streams or other bodies of water
					 which appear as lines, to indicate natural waters, on the reference maps
					 herein, and which are not specifically designated in table I, shall be assigned
					 the same classes and standards of quality and purity as the specifically
					 designated waters to which they are directly tributary.
(i) All streams or other bodies of water
					 which are not shown on the reference maps herein shall be assigned to class D,
					 as set forth in Part 701,
supra
except that any continuous
					 flowing natural stream which is not shown on the reference maps shall have the
					 same classification and assigned standards as the waters to which it is
					 directly tributary.
(j) The
Conewango Creek, French Creeks and Brokenstraw Creeks drainage
					 basins
shall be deemed to include the following areas: all land and
					 water areas the natural surface water drainage from which is directly or
					 indirectly tributary to any and all streams within the Allegheny River drainage
					 basin flowing from New York State into the State of Pennsylvania, west of the
					 Chautauqua-Cattaraugus county line and north of the south line of Chautauqua
					 County. Such streams consist principally of Conewango Creek, the French Creeks
					 and the Brokenstraw Creeks, but also include other unnamed streams.

					 in this Part means any fish in the following genera:
Coregonus,
					 Oncorhyncus, Prosopium, Salmo, Salvelinus
