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 or portion thereof.
(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 portion 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 area, such as a river, large lake, bay or sound is usually referred to
					 by name or an abbreviation. Tributaries of primary river waters are
					 consecutively numbered progressing upstream from the mouth. Tributaries of
					 primary lake, bay or sound waters are consecutively numbered in a clockwise
					 order from a defined point, usually the outlet of the primary waters.
					 Subtributaries are numbered as encountered along the tributary proceeding from
					 its mouth to the source, and in like manner all of its other stream courses are
					 so numbered. Ponds and lakes are numbered in the order they are encountered
					 within the system. Tributaries of such lakes and ponds are numbered
					 consecutively as they enter, progressing clockwise around the lake or pond from
					 its outlet or mouth. The numbers assigned to such lakes and ponds are prefixed
					 by the letter P. 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 waters under consideration by the New York State Conservation
					 Department in its
Biological Survey of the Lower Hudson
					 Watershed
in 1936 and has been closely followed in connection with the
					 numerical 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 the older maps employed by the Conservation Department at
					 the time of its 1936 survey but not shown on later editions of maps produced
					 herein. Conversely, streams, lakes and ponds not shown on the older maps but
					 appearing on the newer maps are designated by suffix letters a, b, c,
					 etc.
(3) Streams that enter the
					 State of Connecticut are identified by water index waters prefixed by the
					 abbreviation "Conn."
(4) The
					 following table will illustrate how the designated waters may be identified
					 through the use of the waters index system:
Waters index
								  number
Name of waters
Explanation
Conn. 4
Mianus River
The fourth stream crossing the New York-Connecticut
								  boundary line proceeding northward along the boundary.
Conn. 4-2
Tributary of Mianus River
The second tributary entering the Mianus River
								  above the mouth.
Conn. 6-P 1109
Trinity Lake
The 1109th pond, lake or reservoir encountered in
								  the biological survey area of the Lower Hudson River watershed.
