A breach was opened in the barrier beach along the south shore of Long Island, New York during a winter storm in January, 1980. Due to public safety and environmental concerns, a contract to close the breach using sand fill was awarded to a local contractor. This paper discusses the evolution of the construction procedures developed to allow the contractor to successfully complete the project on schedule and on budget.

Potatoes have been grown continuously on many Long Island (New York) fields. Environmental concerns have raised questions about the continued usage of this practice. A farm-level linear programming model was used to investigate the economic impacts of crop rotations which result in reduced potato acreage. Crop rotations (an Integrated Pest Management tactic) reduced total pesticide use, but also reduced returns above variable costs as successively stringent rotation requirements were forced into the solution. The crop rotations which caused the least effect on income were identified.
