Decision question
Should Engineer L have conducted further quantitative analysis to characterize the stormwater risk before presenting findings to Client X, or was a qualitative risk estimation sufficient to fulfill the environmental risk assessment obligation?
Focus
After work resumed following a historic rainfall event, Engineer L conducted additional studies and qualitatively estimated the risk that heavy rainfall could cause stormwater runoff to reach the watershed. The question is whether Engineer L was obligated to quantify or more fully characterize this risk before concluding the analysis, or whether a qualitative estimate was sufficient to discharge the environmental risk assessment duty.
Option1
Present Client X with the qualitative finding that heavy rainfall could cause stormwater runoff to reach the watershed, recommend protective measures, and allow Client X to commission further quantitative study if desired, treating the qualitative estimate as sufficient to discharge the immediate assessment obligation.
Option2
Expand the scope of additional studies to produce a quantitative estimate of risk probability and magnitude before presenting findings to Client X, ensuring that the client and any regulatory authorities receive actionable numerical data rather than a qualitative characterization.
Option3
Disclose the qualitative risk finding to Client X immediately while explicitly recommending that a separate, dedicated quantitative risk assessment be commissioned as a condition of proceeding, making clear that the current estimate is preliminary and that project continuation without further study carries uncharacterized risk.
