Decision Question
After the department overrides Engineer A's permit refusal and authorizes the permit, should Engineer A withdraw from further work on the project or remain engaged and continue to formally represent his professional position within the regulatory process?
Focus
After Engineer A refuses to issue the permit and formally submits his findings to his superior, the department overrides his refusal and authorizes the permit. Engineer A must now decide whether to withdraw from further work on the project or remain engaged — standing by his documented professional position within the regulatory process.
Option1
Continue working on the project while formally maintaining the documented professional position opposing the permit, ensuring that Engineer A's dissent remains on the institutional record and that no further professional certifications are made that Engineer A believes violate applicable standards.
Option2
Disassociate from further work on the project on the grounds that mandatory obligations — refusal, formal submission of findings, and board consultation — have been fully discharged, and that continued involvement in a project whose permit Engineer A believes is non-compliant places him in a professionally compromising situation.
Option3
Remain engaged in the project while simultaneously escalating concerns to external authorities — such as the EPA or state environmental regulators — on the grounds that the department override of a licensed engineer's professional objection on a Clean Air Act compliance matter constitutes a public health concern requiring external notification.
