The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission will have two major pipeline hearings this summer.

First up is the Navigator pipeline application.
PUC Chair Kristie Fiegen says the documents are growing….

Fiegen says she and the other two commissioners will be doing lots of homework….

Fiegen says state law sets out how they can make their decisions….

Fiegen will recuse herself from the Summit Carbon Solutions hearings in September because the pipe crosses some of her family’s land. State Treasurer Josh Haeder has been appointed to sit in on that case.
