HB589

Louisiana HB589 mandates a 500-foot setback for carbon dioxide pipelines near inhabited dwellings, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Louisiana HB589 amends existing law to require a 500-foot setback for carbon dioxide pipelines near inhabited dwellings, schools, and healthcare facilities. This law retains the current prohibition on locating Class VI injection wellheads within 500 feet of these areas and extends the same restriction to carbon dioxide pipelines. The bill aims to ensure safety and protect public health by maintaining a safe distance between these infrastructures and sensitive locations.
