MITCHELL S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission has set a 5 p.m. CT deadline on January 24, 2025, for people, businesses and organizations to file as potential interveners in the latest permit application for the carbon-dioxide pipeline that Summit Carbon Transport still wants to build throughout areas in 23 of the state’s eastern counties.
As of mid-day Monday, intervention requests had been filed by seven parties, including a recently elected member of the Legislature, Republican Kaley Nolz of Mitchell, and the lawmaker she’s replacing, Republican Representative Ben Krohmer.
Her sister, Amanda Radke of rural Mitchell, who opposes use of eminent domain for CO2 projects, has also filed, as have Jason Fauth, a McPherson County farmer whose land the line would cross; the Brookings County Commission; the South Dakota Telecommunications Association; and Dakota Access Pipeline, whose crude-oil pipeline would be crossed more than 40 times, according to DAPL’s filing.
Summit’s route would run through Beadle, Brookings, Brown, Clark, Codington, Davison, Edmunds, Grant, Hamlin, Hand, Hyde, Kingsbury, Lake, Lincoln, McCook, McPherson, Minnehaha, Miner, Sanborn, Spink, Sully, Turner, and Union counties, with pump stations in Beadle, Edmunds, Lake, Minnehaha, McPherson and Spink counties.
