The proposal would pause permits for developing and operating carbon-sequestration facilities; commissioners discussed local rules and potential impacts Sept. 29.
Logan County commissioners will consider a temporary pause on permits for carbon-sequestration facilities at their Oct. 6 meeting. The agenda describes Resolution 2026-32 as a proposal to halt permits related to developing and operating the facilities in the county.
At their Sept. 29 meeting, commissioners discussed reviewing the potential impacts of carbon-sequestration development and local rules, including setbacks and permitting requirements. Commissioner Young raised concerns about reports of health problems near a carbon-dioxide compressor station and asked about a possible pipeline route and compressor setbacks. Commissioners discussed a possible moratorium, but did not adopt one.
The Oct. 6 meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Logan County Courthouse in Sterling. The agenda description does not specify how long the proposed pause would last or whether it would apply to pending applications.
