How do I find E(d), the magnitude of the E field a distance d above a plane, using Gauss' Law?

A large sheet of plastic of dimensions LxL is charged with a uniformly distributed charge Q. If we approximate the sheet by an infinite plane, we can calculate the electric field it produces. Express the answer in terms of the givens in the problem. (You may also invoke universal constants.)
