Case context
The BWJ subdivision stormwater design allegedly failed to prevent post-development runoff from exceeding pre-development conditions, resulting in flooding and property damage to adjacent property owners. City C's regulatory requirements explicitly required post-development runoff not to exceed pre-development conditions.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Obligated party
Principal Engineer R and Firm BWJ
Obligation statement
Principal Engineer R and Firm BWJ were obligated to ensure that the subdivision stormwater management design adequately protected the surrounding drainage environment by ensuring post-development runoff did not exceed pre-development conditions, consistent with City C's regulatory requirements and the broader duty to protect public welfare from stormwater-related flooding.
Temporal scope
During design development and prior to plan submission to City C for approval
Relationships
defeasibleUnder
Subdivision Causation Complexity
Source Evidence
Source text
both actual flood damage and IBM's modeling suggests that the subdivision design failed to comply with City C's regulatory requirement that post-development runoff not exceed pre-development runoff
Text references
an independent analysis of the design seems to show stormwater runoff flows are larger after construction (in conflict with the City's requirements for peak flows being less than or equal to pre-development conditions)
