Definition
Performed hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment for a proposed residential development, advocated for design to the 100-year storm surge elevation based on newly identified historic weather data, faced client refusal to agree to that protection standard, and was obligated to either engage the client in detailed evaluation and disclosure discussions, propose inclusion of concerns in an engineering report for regulatory review, or withdraw from the project.

Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A worked for a developer to perform hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment regarding a proposed residential development
Text references
Engineer A advocated that the project be designed for the then-projected 100-year storm surge elevation due to public safety risks
Engineer A needs to have sufficient understanding of hydrology, hydraulics, and coastal modeling to form a reasonable judgment
Engineer A should engage Client B in discussions about the need for the detailed evaluation
Engineer A worked for a developer to perform hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment regarding a proposed residential development
Failing agreement by Client B to either of these courses of action the BER believes that Engineer A should withdraw from the project
