Foreseeable Third-Party Harm from Hydraulic Capacity Increase State
Subject
Proposed upgrade of tidal crossing from culvert to bridge, increasing hydraulic capacity and its projected effect on twenty upstream homes
Terminatedby
Completion of specialized hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, implementation of protective design measures, or project abandonment
Triggeringevent
Engineer A's professional judgment that increasing the hydraulic capacity of the tidal crossing will accelerate flood damage to upstream homes under future sea level rise and storm surge conditions
Urgencylevel
high
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
