Any action to subsequently modify any aspect of the engineering documents by any party who did not actually draft the engineering documents or exercise 'responsible charge' over the preparation of the engineering documents thoroughly compromises and undermines the integrity and the veracity that this preparation and approval process is intended to embody.

Any action to subsequently modify any aspect of the engineering documents by any party who did not actually draft the engineering documents or exercise 'responsible charge' over the preparation of the engineering documents thoroughly compromises and undermines the integrity and the veracity that this preparation and approval process is intended to embody.
Such actions cannot be permitted to stand.
Under the facts of the present case, this engineering document signing and sealing process appears to have been compromised and undermined for unknown motives and intentions.
