http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Climate-AdjustedRegulatoryGapRiskDisclosureObligation
Case context
Engineer A has identified that local development regulations and national design codes have not been updated to reflect sea level rise and changed precipitation patterns, and that the regulatory minimum is insufficient to characterize the actual flood risk to upstream homeowners.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to disclose to Client B and to applicable regulatory authorities that the local 25-year storm standard and the assumption of historically consistent future weather conditions are outdated relative to current climate science, and that regulatory compliance alone does not constitute adequate public protection for the tidal crossing upgrade.
Temporal scope
Upon Engineer A's identification of the regulatory gap and before submission of permit applications or public hearing presentations
Relationships
Source Evidence
Source text
The local development regulations and national design codes and standards have not yet been updated to reflect changing conditions and weather patterns, including effects of sea level rise and changes in precipitation intensities and recurrence intervals effected by on-going climate change.
Text references
Local development regulations require designing for a 25-year fresh-water storm, and assume that future weather conditions will be consistent with updated historical data.
The local development regulations and national design codes and standards have not yet been updated to reflect changing conditions and weather patterns, including effects of sea level rise and changes in precipitation intensities and recurrence intervals effected by on-going climate change.
