New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter X - DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES › Subchapter B - CLASSES AND STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND PURITY ASSIGNED TO FRESH SURFACE AND TIDAL SALT WATERS › Article 10 - LOWER HUDSON RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN SERIES › Part 855 - RONDOUT RIVER, RONDOUT CREEK AND WALLKILL RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN › Section 855.2 - Definitions and conditions

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 tables I and II of this Part an item number is
					 assigned to each specifically designated waters or portions thereof.
(b)
Waters index number
as
					 appearing in tables I and II 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 Rondout-Wallkill River 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 Rondout-Wallkill River drainage basin may be
					 illustrated as follows:
