if you are in agreement with the proposed classification of the structure, it is requested that i your final report for the Catawba Nuclear Station Standby Service Water Pond dam be issued at this time. As stated in our letter dated July 8,1997, we concur with the five recommendations for improving maintenance and operation of the dam and related structures j identified in your draft report.  ;
