Story County is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court over the county’s ordinance on pipelines.
The county law would limit how close a hazardous chemical pipeline could be from homes, and require an emergency response plan ahead of any possible leak.
A Circuit Court ruled in June in favor of Summit Carbon Solutions saying federal and state law already cover safety concerns.
Story County says it has legal authority over local zoning ordinances and is asking the US Supreme court to decide the case.
