Properties

RegulatoryComplianceVerificationinStormwaterDesign
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#RegulatoryComplianceVerificationinStormwaterDesign
Applied to
BWJ subdivision stormwater design; City C peak flow regulatory requirements; IBM independent hydrological analysis
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Developer G project schedule and cost constraints
Concrete expression
Firm BWJ and Principal Engineer R were obligated to verify through adequate hydrological modeling that the subdivision stormwater design complied with City C's requirement that post-development peak runoff flows not exceed pre-development conditions before certifying and submitting the plans for approval
Confidence
0.86
Importance
high
Interpretation
The combination of actual flooding and IBM's independent modeling indicating post-development runoff exceedance suggests the original design verification was inadequate; the regulatory compliance obligation required more rigorous hydrological analysis before certification
Invoked by
Firm BWJ
Principal Engineer R
Tension resolution
Regulatory compliance obligations are non-negotiable and cannot be subordinated to client economic interests; actual flooding outcomes confirm that the design failed to meet the applicable standard
Source Evidence
Source text
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)
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)
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
