The R. Paul Smith Power Station is a closed electric generating plant owned by FirstEnergy (formerly Allegheny Energy) in Williamsport, Maryland. ==Description== The facility consists of 2 coal-fired steam generating units generating a total capacity of 116 MW.〔Allegheny Energy Inc. (June 2010). "AE At a Glance."〕 The units can use fuel oil as an alternate energy source.〔U.S. Energy Information Administration, Washington, D.C. (2008). ("Existing Generating Units in the United States by State, Company and Plant, 2008" )〕 Condenser cooling for these units is accomplished with once-through cooling water from the Potomac River.〔McLean, Richard, et al. (2002). ("Maryland Power Plant Cooling Water Intake Regulations and Their Application in Evaluation of Adverse Environmental Impact." ) (Annapolis, MD: Maryland Department of Natural Resources.) Power Plant Research Program, Report No. PPRP-127. p. 14.〕 The plant is located on land in between the Potomac River and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, north of Lock 44 of the canal. Coal is delivered to the plant by truck. Coal ash from the plant is disposed at surface impoundments in West Virginia, across the river from the plant.〔Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Takoma Park, MD (2011). ("R. Paul Smith Power Station." ) Fact sheet.〕 The plant is subject to the federal Clean Air Act. Because of the age of the power plant units, and the need to maintain the plant's capabilities to ensure reliability of the regional power grid, the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) had exempted the plant from compliance with a state law, the ''Healthy Air Act,'' which sets stringent air pollution limits for sulfur oxide and NOx.〔 However, FirstEnergy decided to cease plant operations in 2012, and in 2013 MDE proposed reinstating the stringent state emission requirements, in case the plant resumes operations in the future.〔Maryland Department of the Environment, Baltimore, MD (2013-04-05). ("Notice of Proposed Action: 26.11.27 Emission Limitations for Power Plants." ) ''Maryland Register,'' Vol. 40, Issue 7. pp. 626-7.〕
