Dukes Scott Michael Traynham W. McLeod Rhodes Donald Gardner Petroleum Pipeline Study Committee Report Submitted on December 21, 2017 Background of the Petroleum Pipeline Study Committee Background On July 1, 2015, South Carolina’s Attorney General issued an opinion holding that current South Carolina law is unclear as to whether South Carolina law allows a petroleum pipeline company to exercise eminent domain authority. The Attorney General recommended that the legislature clarify whether property can be condemned in South Carolina by a petroleum pipeline company. Soon after, the General Assembly enacted Act 205 (2016) which, through a moratorium, prohibited the use of eminent domain by for-profit, pipeline companies that are not defined as a public utility under South Carolina Code of Laws Title 58. That moratorium expires on June 30, 2019. Purpose After the 2015 Attorney General Opinion mentioned above, the General Assembly established the Petroleum Pipeline Study Committee, hereinafter referred to as the “Committee,” by Act 304 in 2016 to study matters related to the presence of petroleum pipelines in South Carolina. Matters to be considered by the Committee were to include, but were not limited to, the following: (1) the various types of petroleum
