Properties
Instance of
Third-PartyAffectedPartyDirectNotificationObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Third-PartyAffectedPartyDirectNotificationObligation
Applied to
Local Permitting Regulatory Authority
Upstream Neighborhood Twenty Homes Community
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Confidentiality
Concrete expression
Engineer A identified approximately twenty upstream homeowners as an identifiable third-party community facing material risk of accelerated uninhabitability due to the proposed tidal crossing upgrade, creating an obligation to ensure that those homeowners or the regulatory authority with jurisdiction over their welfare receive timely notification of the identified risk
Confidence
0.87
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, the third-party notification obligation requires Engineer A to ensure that the local permitting regulatory authority is informed of the upstream flood risk during the permitting process, and to consider whether direct notification of the upstream homeowners is warranted if regulatory channels are inadequate
Invoked by
Engineer A Tidal Crossing Infrastructure Design Engineer
Tension resolution
The obligation to notify identifiable third parties of material safety risks overrides client preferences for confidentiality or cost management when those third parties face risk of uninhabitability
Source Evidence
Source text
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

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
