MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission is holding off on a decision for Summit Carbon Solutions’ permit to build a pipeline. The PUC met Thursday to discuss options to either extend the schedule of the application or deny it altogether. The committee ultimately decided not to make a decision after Summit representatives did not give definitive answers about their plans moving forward. The Commission ended up giving a timeline of 12 days for Summit to explain how to make its current permit possible. Summit will have to give an official answer at the next meeting on April 22nd.
