Attorneys representing Summit Carbon Solutions on Wednesday filed a petition with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission to indefinitely extend a deadline regulators faced to decide on granting or rejecting Summit Carbon Solutions’ request to construct its pipeline through more than 20 South Dakota counties.
