James V. Biamonte was the recipient of the 2021 Solid Waste Achievement award.
The award was presented by Rich Bills, president, who noted the award is presented to a solid waste professional who has dedicated their career to the field and contributed to NYSASWM’s mission of promoting efficient, effective, and environmentally sound practices.
He noted that Mr. Biamonte, who served as Environmental Coordinator for the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority, is well deserving of the Award.
Mr. Biamonte has been with the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority since March 1989. He was responsible for conducting and reviewing studies and analysis, in addition to providing recommendations on environmental, economic, and legislative impacts and developments as they relate to comprehensive solid waste management. He also served as Contracting Officer for the acquisition and disposition of Authority property.
Jim was instrumental in developing a comprehensive local solid waste management plan for the Oneida-Herkimer region. He also played a role in the Authority winning its landmark case in the United States Supreme Court that has set a national precedent for public solid waste systems.
Jim served as NYSASWM president from 2002-2003 and subsequently served on the board.
He holds an A.A. degree from Mohawk Valley Community College and a B.A. and M.P.A. from the State University Center at Albany.
In presenting the award, Bills noted that NYSASWM congratulates and recognizes the exceptional leadership and accomplishments by Mr. Biamonte and extends the highest level of appreciation and commendation.
(Mr. Biamonte retired from the OHSWA at the end of 2021, and presently works for Barton & Loguidice Engineers, D.P.C.)
