SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Summit Carbon Solutions filed a motion to suspend its current CO2 pipeline application with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission.

With the signing of HB 1052 into law, Summit says their ability to obtain survey permission has changed.

In order to receive a permit Summit must survey the proposed route completely and that can only happen now in South Dakota with landowner approval.

With that, Summit says they won’t have enough time to complete their application for a permit.

The company is asking for the proceedings to be paused until Summit is ready to move forward.
