<br /> Mr . Moore stated he was in agreement with the principles and criteria of the Corps

<br /> report ' s recommendations for further engineering study are consistent with the
<br /> District ' s seismic study recommendations , and he sees no obstacles in completion
<br /> of the project based on the Corps report .
