Active period
From Engineer A's formation of professional judgment through resolution (analysis conducted, client informed, or Engineer A withdraws)
Affected parties
Client B
Engineer A
Regulatory authorities
Upstream homeowners
Confidence
0.96
Importance
high
Subject
Engineer A's professional judgment regarding the inadequacy of regulatory requirements for the tidal crossing project
Terminated by
Client B authorizing the specialized analysis, Engineer A disclosing risks to regulatory authorities, or Engineer A withdrawing from the project
Triggering event
Engineer A's determination, based on conference-presented hydraulic evaluation procedures, that regulatory compliance alone is insufficient to protect upstream homeowners under projected climate conditions
Urgency level
high
Source Evidence
Source text
It is Engineer A's judgment, based on hydraulic evaluation procedures presented at a recent transportation agency conference, that the proposed project may result in some upstream homes becoming uninhabitable a decade or more earlier than would otherwise be the case.
Text references
Engineer A proposes a complex and costly hydrologic and hydraulic analysis by a specialized subconsultant to predict the extent to which sea level rise and the increased hydraulic capacity of the tidal crossing will result in flood damage to a neighborhood of twenty upstream homes during future high tides and storm surges, anticipating this to be a difficult question to answer in the project's public hearings.
