				  must be determined in accordance with the model described in the GTI-04/0049,
				  "LNG Vapor Dispersion Prediction with the DEGADIS 2.1 Dense Gas Dispersion
				  Model" (incorporated by reference, see §6713). Alternatively, in order to

				  calculated in accordance with the model described in the Gas Research Institute
				  report GRI-96/0396.5 (incorporated by reference, see §6713), "Evaluation
				  of Mitigation Methods for Accidental LNG Releases. Volume 5: Using FEM3A for

				  Commerce, or as an alternative where the model used gives longer distances at
				  lower wind speeds, Atmospheric Stability (Pasquill Class) F, wind speed = 4.5
				  miles per hour (2.01 meters/sec) at reference height of 10 meters, relative
				  humidity = 50.0 percent, and atmospheric temperature = average in the region. [

				  shown that the terrain both upwind and downwind of the vapor cloud has dense
				  vegetation and that the vapor cloud height is more than ten times the height of
				  the obstacles encountered by the vapor cloud. [
