Split Amendment Vote For Minnehaha County Pipeline Ordinance

(Minnehaha County, SD) — Minnehaha County commissioners are going to have to wait another two weeks to decide an amended ordinance that would address carbon dioxide pipelines. The vote on reducing the setbacks of hazardous material pipelines from seven-hundred-50 feet from a property line to three-hundred-30 feet resulted in a 2-2 vote. Commissioner Jean Bender was not at Tuesday’s meeting, meaning the commissioners will address an amended ordinance again on June 6th.
