(Sioux City, Iowa) – The Board of Supervisors in one northwest Iowa county are looking to the future when it comes to the proposed carbon capture pipeline potentially going through the county. KTIV-TV in Sioux City reports during their meeting Tuesday evening, Woodbury County Supervisors Jeremy Taylor and Mark Nelson proposed the county create a decommission plan requirement for the pipelines proposed by Summit Carbon Solutions. The plan would require Summit Carbon Solutions to prepare a decommissioning plan to restore the thousands of acres of land affected by its pipeline, once the pipelines are no longer in use.

The county board is still against the idea of carbon pipelines coming in at all, but Tuesday night they voted unanimously to require Summit Carbon Solutions to have a plan in place before they break ground. The county’s planning and zoning commission, along with the board of adjustment, will now begin work to draft an ordinance to put that plan into action.
