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.

(c) Name as appearing in table I shall mean the name, if any, by which the specifically designated waters are generally known and which name, if any appears on the reference map. In cases of specifically designated waters which have no name, the name tributary to which the unnamed waters are tributary is indicated so far as possible.
(d) Description as appearing in table I shall mean a brief indication as to location of the specifically designated waters so that by referring to the reference map such waters may be located without reference to their waters index numbers. Entries under column headed “Description” also include designations of a section of a stream to which a particular assignment of a class and standards shall apply.
(e) Class as appearing in table I, and denoted by the letters B or C, opposite each specifically designated waters, shall mean class B or C, as the case may be, as set forth in Parts 701 and 702, supra.
(f) Standards as appearing in table I, as the letters B or C, opposite each specifically designated waters, shall mean the standards of quality and purity established for class B or C, as the case may be, as set forth in Parts 701 and 702, supra.
(g) Tributary or tributaries shall mean any stream, pond, or other body of surface water which flows into any other stream, pond, or other body of surface water. In the table under 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.

(i) 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.
(j) 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.
(k) The Lower Genesee River drainage basin shall be deemed to include the following: the Genesee River between its junction with Lake Ontario and the south bank of the Barge Canal and all land and water areas, the natural surface water drainage from which [it] is directly or indirectly tributary to the Genesee River in this section, and including that portion of the Barge Canal within the Genesee River drainage area.
