From Engineer A's identification of the risk through project completion and into the future operational life of the crossing
Affected parties
Client B
Engineer A
Regulatory authorities
Twenty upstream homeowners
Confidence
0.92
Importance
high
Subject
Twenty upstream homeowners facing accelerated flood damage and potential uninhabitability due to the proposed tidal crossing upgrade
Terminated by
Protective design measures implemented, analysis confirming no material harm, or project abandoned
Triggering event
Engineer A's professional judgment that the hydraulic capacity increase will render upstream homes uninhabitable a decade or more earlier than otherwise
Urgency level
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
