Camden County in Virginia could get dividends from Black Bear Disposal, a subsidiary of Waste Industries, before the landfill they are under contract to construct is completed, or even started. Black Bear has also agreed to reduce the number of states allowed to import garbage from twenty-two to six. The company also wants an extension on its existing contract, which is due to expire in November. Despite a lawsuit by the City of Chesapeake and a group of citizens to stop construction, a new contract may be drawn up to reflect this new compromise. The financial reality of Camden County may force its Board of Commissioners to agree to this new contract.
