http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Regulatory-Minimum-OnlyCompliancePublicSafetyInsufficiencyDisclosureObligation
Case context
Engineer A has identified that the local regulatory standard does not capture the dynamic trajectory of sea level rise and changing storm patterns, and that designing to the regulatory minimum will not adequately protect upstream homeowners from accelerated flood risk.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to disclose to Client B and to applicable regulatory authorities that compliance with the 25-year storm standard based on historical data is insufficient to protect public health, safety, and welfare given current climate science, and to recommend design standards or analyses that go beyond the regulatory minimum.
Temporal scope
Before submitting permit applications and before public hearings on the tidal crossing upgrade

Source Evidence
Source text
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.
