Case context
Engineer A has recognized, based on hydraulic evaluation procedures from a recent transportation agency conference, that the regulatory standard based on historical data does not capture the dynamic trajectory of sea level rise and changing storm patterns relevant to the tidal crossing upgrade.
Compliance status
partial
Confidence
0.92
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to treat future climate and weather conditions as a dynamic moving target in the tidal crossing design, incorporating current scientific understanding of sea level rise and changed precipitation patterns rather than relying solely on historical data baselines embedded in the 25-year storm standard.
Temporal scope
Throughout the design and permitting process for the tidal crossing upgrade
Relationships
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.

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.
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.
