North Dakota court ruling on Summit pipeline hailed as local control win

Original: Summit pipeline ruling in North Dakota called a win for local control

A court ruling involving the Summit carbon dioxide pipeline project in North Dakota is being described as a victory for local control. Supporters say the decision strengthens the ability of counties and local officials to have a say over pipeline routing and permitting within their jurisdictions, in a dispute closely watched by landowners, the pipeline developer, and environmental groups.

Why now: The ruling has immediate implications for the contested Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline project and broader debates over local versus state authority over pipeline siting.
