The Chesapeake (Va.) city council is considering a resolution opposing a landfill in Camden County, N.C., fearing the landfill could contaminate Chesapeake's drinking water. The Black Bear Landfill will be located near South Mills, about half a mile from the North Carolina-Virginia border. Chesapeake officials fear the landfill could cause contamination problems, but landfill officials noted that the facility will be located downstream of Chesapeake.
