USACE New York District, and Mr Edward Schmeltz, Senior Vice President at
DMJM + Harris, are thanked for providing supplemental information on the
1980 Moriches Inlet breach and for answering many questions. We appreciate a
critical review of this paper given by Mr. Ty Wamsley, of the U.S. Army
Engineer Research and Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics
Laboratory. Permission was granted by Headquarters, USACE, to publish this
information.
