if the contractor indists on use this steel, i think they need to prepare a corrosion assessment and detail design analysis on the material to Sulfide Stress Cracking and Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking.

Very large company, so they must have known what they were doing, as they did thousands of tests on materials on a constant basis.
RE: Stainless Steel 321
As far as my understanding, steel 321 is suspectible to Chloride and H2S corrosion. It thus not suitable using in seawater and oil gas structure within H2S. however, for the application in river and lake, i think it is OK.
