  • Alternative Case: For the alternative, use the typical meteorological conditions at the source.

C) Ambient Temperature/Humidity

  • Worst Case: Either the highest maximum daily temperature in the previous three years and average humidity for the site or 25 C and 50% humidity.
  • Alternative Case: Typical temperature and humidity for your site.

D) Release Height

  • Worst Case: Assume a release height of 0 ft.
  • Alternative Case: Release height will be typical of your process you are modeling.

E) Temperature of Released Substance

  • Worst Case: Either the highest maximum daily temperature in the previous three years or the process temperature, whichever is higher.
  • Alternative Case: Release is at a process or ambient temperature appropriate for the process.
