Iowa Supreme Court recently decides unanmously to uphold Summit’s survey access

In Iowa, the Iowa Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to uphold survey access for the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline last week, supporting progress of the carbon pipeline and infrastructure projects across the state. Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) Executive Director Monte Shaw made the following statement:

“This is a victory for state law and common-sense. A permit application requires a survey. So if you don’t allow temporary survey access then you empower just one landowner to derail a multistate infrastructure project. Iowa law is clear and this unanimous decision highlights what a frivolous lawsuit this was. With commodity prices sagging, we continue to encourage Iowans to come together to find a path forward for much needed investments in new ag markets.”
