CHESAPEAKE
The City Council will vote tonight whether to reopen to the public a Chesapeake golf course sitting atop 1.5 million tons of fly ash.
From about the end of March until this week, the course had been open only to its roughly 160 members. The city closed the course to the public after citing it with occupying the site without an approved final site plan or certificate of occupancy.
The vote on the agreement comes seven weeks after a report about the golf course in The Virginian-Pilot revealed potential environmental threats to groundwater from the fly ash, a powdery reside left from burning coal for electricity.
