MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) Summit Carbon Solutions wants to suspend its current carbon pipeline application in South Dakota. The company filed a motion this week with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission following the signing of House Bill 10-52 into law. Because of the legislation, Summit says their ability to obtain survey permission has changed. Summit must survey the proposed route completely in order to get a permit. But that can only happen now in South Dakota with landowner approval. According to the company, they won’t have enough time to complete their permit application. Summit Carbon is asking for the proceedings to be paused until the company is ready to move forward.
Summit Carbon Asks SD PUC To Suspend Permit Application
Summit Carbon Solutions has requested a suspension of its current carbon pipeline application in South Dakota following the signing of House Bill 10-52 into law. The company filed a motion with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission this week, citing changes in the ability to obtain survey permission due to the new legislation. Under the law, Summit must obtain landowner approval to conduct surveys along the proposed pipeline route, which they say will prevent them from completing their permit application in time. As a result, Summit is asking for the proceedings to be paused until they are able to proceed with the project.
