The second company to propose an expansive pipeline system in Iowa to transport carbon dioxide seeks a final permit hearing next summer and a decision by state regulators in early October 2024.

A streak of abnormally hot and dry weather last week led to declines in the conditions of Iowa’s corn and soybean crops, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The weather conditions also stifled pastures used for feeding livestock.

The company says state lawmakers meant to include the supercritical status when they sought to regulate “liquefied carbon dioxide transportation.” However, state law does not explicitly define what that phrase means.

Synthetic chemicals that persist indefinitely in the environment have been detected in the water of several deep wells in parts of Iowa with porous bedrock, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Some areas of Iowa had considerable rainfall last week, but overall soil moisture diminished because much of central and north-central Iowa had little or no precipitation, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
