(Radio Iowa) – The hearing for the Summit carbon pipeline is underway again today (Tuesday). State regulators has originally expected the hearing to wrap up in September, but testimony and questioning has taken longer than expected. The Iowa Utilities Board has landowners listed to testify through Thursday, and if things stay to that schedule, the Summit hearing could wrap up them.

In another pipeline permit case, Navigator is asking regulators to suspend the process for its carbon pipeline in Iowa until the company can get approval for the project from Illinois regulators. The proposed pipeline route includes around 810 miles in Iowa.
