Definition
The termination of Engineer A's wetland delineation engagement did not extinguish the duty to report the client's confirmed unpermitted fill violation to appropriate regulatory authorities if the client failed to remediate, because the post-engagement discovery of a confirmed statutory violation triggers reporting obligations that survive the end of the professional relationship.
