South Dakota's Supreme Court denies Summit Carbon Solutions eminent domain for pipeline, upholding landowner rights.
South Dakota's Supreme Court reversed decisions granting Summit Carbon Solutions common carrier status for its carbon capture and sequestration pipeline. The court ruled that Summit Carbon had not proved it's a common carrier transporting a commodity for hire, therefore the company can't use eminent domain to acquire private property. The decision benefits landowners who appealed against invasive surveys on their land.
