CO2 Pipeline — Survey crews contracted by Summit Carbon Solutions, an Iowa-based carbon capture company, conduct various studies on land belonging to McPherson County farmer Leo Vilhauer on Wednesday, May 3, 2023. A South Dakota fifth circuit judge issued an order allowing the company to perform surveys on property where landowners opposed to the company's CO2 pipeline had previously turned crews away in an April 19 letter decision.
