931.2 Definitions and conditions.
The several terms, words or phrases hereinafter mentioned shall be construed as follows:
(a) Item no.
In table I an item number is assigned 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 portions thereof for the purpose of identification.
(1) The numbering or index system used to identify specific waters of New York State was adopted 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 water 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 Susquehanna 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 this identification of waters in the Susquehanna River drainage basin may be illustrated as follows:
Waters index
numberName of watersExplanation
SRSusquehanna RiverPrimary waters
SR-139Trib. of Susquehanna RiverThe 139th tributary entering the Susquehanna River numbered upstream from the New York-Pennsylvania state line.
SR-139-9Subtrib. of Susquehanna RiverThe 9th tributary numbered upstream from the mouth of the 139th tributary of the Susquehanna River.
SR-139-9-P 182Unnamed pondThe 182nd pond, lake or reservoir encountered in the biological survey area of the Susquehanna River watershed system.
(c) Name as appearing in table I shall mean the name by which the specifically designated waters are generally known and which name may appear 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 as far as possible.
(d) Description as appearing in table I contains designations of sections of waters to which a particular assignment of a class and standards shall apply. Also included in this column is any useful information pertinent to the classification or standards.
(e) Map ref. no. as appearing in table I designates the following maps which have been reproduced in whole or in part in section 931.6, infra. The streams have been outlined in black and the waters index numbers indicated on these maps. N-14 (Towanda, Penn.-NY) has not been reproduced because of the very small mileage of streams involved on this map. Small portions of L-12 (Watkins) are reproduced on L-13 (Ithaca).
