The Board's determination that BER Case 00-5 (bridge collapse) is materially distinguishable from the present barn case on grounds of danger imminence, breadth of affected population, and Engineer A's specific role and authority — resulting in a calibrated, less extensive but still meaningful obligation

Urgency level

Source Evidence
Source text
The facts and circumstances of the present case are somewhat different in several respects than the situation involved in BER Case No. 00-5
Text references
First, the danger involved, while possibly significant, is not nearly as imminent or widespread as the potential bridge collapse involved in BER Case No. 00-5
In the present case, the limited nature of the danger does not appear to require this level of response
The facts and circumstances of the present case are somewhat different in several respects than the situation involved in BER Case No. 00-5
in BER Case No. 00-5, as an employee of the local government, Engineer A had a specific responsibility for the bridge in question
the circumstances dictated a 'full-bore' campaign to bring this matter to the attention of public officials
