GOALS

ROUND	STAGE	DATE
REVIEW	"The planned review periods for the rolling FOA are outlined below. Please note that appropriated funding may be expended after the 2nd Round selections are made. If this is the case, DOE will notify the community via EERE Exchange that subsequent submission periods will be withdrawn." In other words; Round 2 may result in all money allotted (74 Million dollars) is awarded (7 Selections). May be that Rounds 3 & 4 are canceled; "Withdrawn." Money may be left or some added if later rounds may be held (why no specific dates, other than Round One).

MODE ONE: BODIES OF WATER Rather than drilling, geothermal can be retrieved by using bodies of water like ponds and lakes.

MODE TWO: ABANDONED WELLS Using abandoned wells to be - example; Geothermal Direct Heat Return Flow Wells.

MODE THREE: TUNNELS [By/Near where structures already exist.] Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895), an under Patapsco River 1.4 mile long four-lane tunnel. It is 50 to 101 feet (15.3 - 30.8 meters) below water/ground surface. Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95), an under Patapsco River 1.4 mile long eight-lane tunnel. It is 107 feet (32.6 meters) below harbor water surface level.

MODE FOUR: BRIDGES [By/Near where structures already exist.] Baltimore has many bridges and drudged up land with abundance of records that can be quickly in use for every conceivable geothermal - thermal use.

MODE FIVE: LAND Low-Enthalpy Geothermal offers a negative to be an extreme positive. It is estimated that Baltimore is the 9th hottest Urban Heat Island. Using the lay of the land of Baltimore, besides the normal benefit of geothermal energy outputs, Baltimore will have another line of protection against heat - especially wet bulb. Low-Enthalpy also offers Baltimore the benefit, should there ever be a rise for, can remove arsenic (The Science of the Total Environment (April 2020) -NIH.

MODE SIX: GEOTHERMAL GENERATION - Utilizing, "Highway to Nowhere." A deep sunken part of a highway (I-170) that is scheduled to be dismantled. 2 Million federal dollars has been allocated. These 2 million dollars can be utilized for Geothermal Generation and, "400 Block," a unique and innovative energy Park above for all to experience and share as alternative plan.
