This document is one of a series of technical reports prepared for the Western Maryland Power Plant Siting Study. Selected licensing issues for the three remaining candidate sites are discussed and related to site boundary considerations. None of the four licensing issues evaluated (noise, fugitive dust, solid waste disposal, point source water discharges) would eliminate any of the three candidate sites from the comparison study. All three sites could likely comply with the air quality standards applicable to fugitive dust emissions. Compliance could be periodically complicated by levels of airborne coal dust at WP-26 during high wind episodes. Noise and fugitive dust level predictions suggested that the original site boundaries could be further refined. Final site boundaries will not be established until after the preferred site is selected.
