Summit Carbon Solutions (SCS) has submitted a petition for reconsideration for their pipeline permit application to the North Dakota Public Service Commission (ND PSC), showcasing its continued commitment to the community and addressing previously raised concerns.
“We’re truly grateful for the trust and support shown by the landowners of North Dakota, allowing us to make substantial progress in our pipeline route and sequestration site plans,” said Summit Carbon Solutions CEO Lee Blank.
“Addressing the concerns of the ND PSC is a top priority for us, and we’ve worked diligently to revise our application accordingly. Our aim is to work collaboratively, listen to everyone’s input, and align our project with the long-term vision that North Dakota has for its energy and agricultural sectors. We are confident that our efforts will contribute positively to North Dakota’s future, and we’re excited to be part of this journey,” added Blank.
In the petition, SCS addressed previously raised concerns:
• Rerouting around Bismarck:
Summit has implemented specific re-routes that includes moving the pipeline almost 10 miles north of
Bismarck’s city limits, addressing concerns about city growth and future development.
• Avoidance Areas:
Summit has rerouted or planned drills to avoid areas of concern, including game management areas
and areas that may present a geo-hazard risk such as a landslide.
• Cultural Resource Surveys:
Summit is working with the State Historic Preservation Office to document the results of cultural surveys
and is confident no historic or archeological sites will be affected by the project. To date, Summit has
completed cultural surveys on approximately 90% of the pipeline route.
Project Advancements:
• Landowner Support:
Nearly 80 percent of the right-of-way (ROW) for the pipeline route has been secured through voluntary
easements from local landowners, including parts of the new pipeline route.
• Sequestration Site Advancement:
SCS has successfully secured almost 90 percent of the space needed for its carbon sequestration sites
in North Dakota.
