Subject: Iowa Open Records Law Request: Iowa Dept Natural Resources

Email

Pursuant to the Iowa Open Records Law

To Whom It May Concern,

This request focuses on the planning and safety of a nationwide high pressure carbon dioxide pipeline network spanning nearly every state.

We ask this question in light of the recently published HuffPost article “The Gassing Of Satartia” by Dan Zegart, which details an accident in Mississippi where a large CO2 pipeline ruptured in February 2020, flooding a small town with a dense cloud of CO2 and injuring dozens of people, some of whom were found unconscious, trapped in their cars while trying to escape. Most residents were unaware of the danger prior to the incident or how to respond.

The development of carbon capture and storage has been prioritized at the Federal level since the late 2000s. Funding for CO2 pipelines by 2021 is part of multiple bills before Congress.

Maps found within reports published by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Carbon Capture Program, Princeton University and non-profit organizations like the Great Plains Institute, show a vast nationwide network of planned CO2 pipelines. Theoretically, the pipeline network would transport captured CO2 from existing pollution sources like power plants, oil and gas production and cement manufacturing, to sites in other states that have been identified for deep injection into geologic formations.

According to maps attached below the request, Iowa is identified as having existing CO2 pollution sources and/or planned CO2 pipelines and disposal sites. These modeling exercises and maps have been developed for use in national CCS programs, budgeting and planning.

Maps attached are copied from these specific documents:
Carbon Capture Coalition (Great Plains Institute), “Federal Policy Blueprint” February 2021, pg.16
Princeton University, “Net Zero America”, December 2020, page 243

Our FOIA/Public Records request in more detail:

I request copies of all communications, reports, notes, and discussions pertaining to the safety of carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines that have been built or will be built within Iowa as part of a national carbon capture and storage (CCS) plan being developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and it’s Carbon Capture Program.

Specifically, I request all communications about CO2 transport and disposal within the state of Iowa between agencies and communications between any agency of Iowa and any of the following Federal agencies or task forces, regarding CO2 transport and CO2 pipelines related to CCS

Interagency Task Force on Carbon Capture and Storage
Department of Energy
Office of Fossil Energy
Carbon Storage Program
Department of Interior
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM),
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS,
Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC)
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Environmental Protection Agency
Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC)

I also request copies of any notes, communications, discussions including but not limited to the following topic areas:

Routing and Risks
Any specific CO2 pipeline routes discussed within Iowa
Consideration of potential risks to communities or environmental justice concerns during route planning process
Pipeline construction specifications - diameter, pressure, capacity of pipelines to be built
Risk of leaks from CO2 pipelines
Experiments or modeling of CO2 pipeline accidents
Potential risk contamination of CO2 waste stream, including hydrogen sulfide and water.
Safety protocols
Setbacks from populated areas - distance
Warning systems for nearby communities
Specialized CO2 training for first responders
Availability of self-contained breathing apparatus for first responders
Information and/or training for health care staff in treatment of hypercapnia (CO2 poisoning)

The time frame for this request is 2003 to the present.

CIC requests these records so that communities may have adequate information in order to protect themselves from the hazards posed by CO2 pipelines. The state’s Public Records/Open Records/FOIA law is designed to ensure transparency and for that reason, agencies are to liberally interpret the law in favor of disclosure and to process records in a timely manner.

Disclosure of these records, especially for proposed pipelines, cannot reasonably present a danger to public safety and instead would provide a powerful tool for community input prior to construction. Additionally, to the extent your search results contain information that is legally exempt from disclosure, non-exempt material must be separated from those records to the extent feasible and provided in response to this request.

Because CIC requests this information for the public benefit and has no commercial interest in the material, I also request a waiver of fees. Should you decide to charge fees for providing copies of records in response to my request, please notify me. If practicable, provide copies of records in their native format. I request that you provide records in electronic form using the email address listed below. Please reach out to me with any questions or issues regarding this request.

Thank you for your assistance.

Good morning,
Here is my response that I got from Air Quality Bureau.

We are aware of the pipeline proposal from media articles but AQB does not
deal with CO2 transport and disposal. We have previously notified Tim Hall
that such a pipeline may need air permits for non-CO2 emissions that may be
emitted from transfer stations along the pipeline. We do not regulate CO2
emissions from pipelines themselves and we aren't aware of any CO2
pipelines that we have permitted in the past.

If the requester could provide the names of those companies with existing
pipelines we could double check our files to be sure. As you know, our
records are not organized by topic or industry type and so it is hard to
make sure we are not overlooking something without specific information on
facility/company names.

I suggest you also check with the other bureaus and Tim Hall to see if they
have more information to provide.

Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information
from AQB.

I will contact Tim Hall and see if he has anything.

Thank you

Renae Girdler

Ok - now we have an entity, Elite Octane, an ethanol producer interested in
storing CO2 underground. I see nothing in IAC 561 17 that addresses whether
someone can store CO2 below anyone's surface property (ie.will a lease be
required or not). Benjamin Meissner, EPA Region 7, told me that Nebraska
just passed legislation defining porosity rights for storing CO2 and he
would forward me a contact.

As far as EPA is concerned they have authority under UIC program to
regulate this activity but Benjamin said they (EPA) have nothing to do with
leasing, that is up to each state. It should be noted that Iowa is the only
state in EPA Region 7 that does not have an approved UIC program.

Is this a legislative priority?

As an aside - Benjamin was of the opinion that once Elite Octane realizes
all the hurdles they need to jump through to get a UIC permit they are
likely to stop.

thanks,

Mike

Maybe I am being a bit too cautious but if an entity wanted to store CO2
underground how would we regulate it? Ryan Clark at IGS says that they have
been pushing this idea for a while as a boon for ethanol producers.

David:

Who owns the pore space below their surface property. The practice is
pretty popular in Kansas. Will it come to Iowa? Need suitable formations at
least 1 km deep.

Renae,

Here is what I have right now ( I will send multiple emails). I
believe field staff have received things as well but that will take some
time to receive and it is basically the same as what I have anyway.
