She added, “The conditional permit the ICU granted for Phase 1 is being appealed. Response briefs were filed last week asking the permit be thrown out. One concern is that landowners are left in limbo for what could be years until the company finds a viable path forward. As you know, there is no way for them to meet the condition of getting a permit in South Dakota. In fact, Summit has no application pending – they never filed a new one after being denied by the South Dakota PUC – twice.”

After acknowledging her comments, the Montgomery County Supervisors heard a regular, weekly update from County Engineer Karen Albert.

The Board’s next regular meeting is at 9-a.m., on Tuesday, August 19th.
