(Spirit Lake)– There are growing concerns and questions regarding two proposed liquified carbon dioxide pipelines that would pass through portions of Dickinson county. Those concerns were a major topic of discussion at today’s (Tues.) Board of Supervisors meeting. Supervisor Kim Wermersen even questioned if it’s time for the board to express formal opposition to the proposed pipelines…
Board Chairman Bill Leopold said, however, not all of their constituents may share that opinion…
Fellow supervisor Tim Fairchild added that if the board was to condemn the projects from a public safety perspective, they would need some specific data to back up their opposition.
Fairchild also said he would like the supervisors to review a proposed resolution that would pertain specifically to the Navigator pipeline. He stated it would be too late to incorporate that with the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline as that is further along in the process. The supervisors will further discuss the resolution at their next meeting.
