What’s in it

AI summary Iowa is creating new rules for companies that build pipelines to move biogas from livestock farms to processing plants. These companies can install or repair their pipelines along county secondary roads as long as they follow certain permit and fee requirements. Operators must also make sure their work does not permanently block people from using the roads.1
