As a first step, the data layers were developed. Following this, {\textquoteright}power plant engineering requirements{\textquoteright}, were evaluated. Finally, several possible scenarios of power plant types that could be proposed in Maryland were developed.}, year = {1998}, booktitle = {91st Annual Meeting \& Exposition of the Air \& Waste Management Association}, journal = {91st Annual Meeting \& Exposition of the Air \& Waste Management Association}, series = {91st Annual Meeting \& Exposition of the Air \& Waste Management Association}, pages = {11}, institution = {Air \& Waste Management Association}, publisher = {Air \& Waste Management Association}, address = {San Diego, CA}, language = {eng}, }
