Landowners Win Victory at South Dakota Supreme Court
The South Dakota Supreme Court on Aug. 22, 2024 ruled that Summit Carbon Solutions (SCS) has not proven that it is a “common carrier” or that CO2 is a commodity under state law, and so at this time is not authorized to use eminent domain to seize landowners’ property against their will for its dangerous and unwanted multistate CO2 pipeline and underground waste dump. “SCS has also failed to establish that the CO2 featured in this case is a commodity,” the justices wrote. The case was remanded for further lower court proceedings.

“…The South Dakota Farm Bureau hosted an educational panel on the first day of the Dakotafest farm show in Mitchell, South Dakota, on the topic of the proposed Summit Pipeline… A packed audience of farmers applauded loudest after the measured but concerned comments from Jay Poindexter, a cattleman and farmer from from Ree Heights, South Dakota. The Farm Bureau added Poindexter to the program after landowners had expressed concerns that opposition to the pipeline was being excluded.”

“An attorney representing multiple landowners in the path of a proposed carbon pipeline says the company's South Dakota application for a permit should be thrown out.

KELO: SDPUC lets more intervene in CO2 pipeline case

Bob Mercer, 4/28/22
“The company seeking a state permit to build a carbon dioxide pipeline through eastern South Dakota hasn’t yet filed a final route plan. And that’s raised uncertainty for landowners along it who aren’t sure whether their properties are within the 10 miles distance that would allow them to intervene,” KELO reports. “…Omaha, Nebraska, lawyer Brian Jorde represents many of the landowners along the route. Jorde filed a motion Thursday calling for the commission to keep the period open for landowners to intervene for 60 days after the commission receives the final map. “We simply have no idea of what’s being permitted or what the request is,” Jorde told the commission. “The starting point is, what’s the route? We don’t know.”
