Case context
Engineer A identified that the proposed tidal crossing upgrade would increase hydraulic capacity in a way that, combined with sea level rise, would accelerate flood risk to approximately twenty upstream homes.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.86
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to notify the approximately twenty upstream homeowners — and/or the applicable regulatory authority — that the proposed tidal crossing upgrade may result in their homes becoming uninhabitable a decade or more earlier than would otherwise be the case, based on Engineer A's professional judgment derived from hydraulic evaluation procedures presented at a recent transportation agency conference.
Temporal scope
Upon forming the professional judgment that upstream homes face accelerated uninhabitability risk, and before or during the regulatory permitting process
Relationships
defeasibleUnder
Client Refusal of Safety Evaluation — Client B Coastal Project
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.
Text references
Engineer A proposes a complex and costly hydrologic and hydraulic analysis by a specialized subconsultant to predict the extent to which sea level rise and the increased hydraulic capacity of the tidal crossing will result in flood damage to a neighborhood of twenty upstream homes during future high tides and storm surges
