The Dickinson County Board of Supervisors Tuesday voted to implement new restrictions on the placement of carbon dioxide pipelines to create larger buffers around them in the county that’s home to the Iowa Great Lakes.
However, the county faces the threat of litigation from Summit Carbon Solutions, who has already filed lawsuits against five other Iowa counties that have enacted similar ordinances.
A federal judge issued permanent injunctions in December to bar Shelby and Story Counties from enforcing their pipeline ordinances.
