Case context
Engineer A applied hydraulic evaluation procedures from a recent transportation agency conference to assess climate-adjusted flood risk, recognizing that historical climate data no longer accurately represents future conditions for the tidal crossing design.
Compliance status
met
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to treat future climate and weather conditions as a dynamic moving target rather than fixed historical baselines when assessing the flood risk impacts of the proposed tidal crossing upgrade on upstream properties.
Temporal scope
Throughout the design and assessment phase of the tidal crossing project

Source Evidence
Source text
This necessitates that climate and weather patterns be addressed not as fixed by historical patterns but rather recognized as a 'moving target.'
Text references
The BER believes that Engineer A has an obligation to consider climate and weather changes in the future with respect to potential impacts on public health, safety, and welfare, where such impacts are reasonably likely and significant.
