Definition
In the referenced BER Case 18-9, Engineer A worked for a developer performing hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment for a proposed residential development. Based on newly identified historic weather data, Engineer A advocated for design to the then-projected 100-year storm surge elevation. When the owner refused, the BER concluded Engineer A should continue to attempt to convince the owner and, failing that, withdraw from the project.
