it was present at ambient temperature in a non-buried or non-mounded vessel in that vessel area at any time during the establishment period;

(b)

the non-buried or non-mounded vessel in which it is present does not have a greater capacity than that specified in column 5 of Table C; and

(c)

the pressure at which it is present in the non-buried or non-mounded vessel does not exceed—

(i)

atmospheric pressure, if the substance was not present at above atmospheric pressure at ambient temperature in a non-buried or non-mounded vessel in that vessel area at any time during the establishment period; or

(ii)

the pressure specified in column 6 of Table C, in any other case.
