Bond has considerable experience in counseling industrial, institutional and municipal clients regarding solid waste matters, including those related to siting, compliance obligations, and enforcement matters arising under New York State and federal laws and regulations.
In recent and past transactions, Bond has provided environmental counsel to municipalities and municipal authorities in connection with the proposed siting of major facilities, including, but not limited to, landfills and wastewater treatment facilities. Bond’s environmental attorneys have acted as counsel for the Development Authority of the North Country and Saratoga County in their successful siting of solid waste disposal facilities. We served as counsel to the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority and Waste Management of New York in their siting of landfill facilities in Oneida and Orleans Counties, respectively. We also served as counsel in the proposal to establish a public-private partnership between the City of Amsterdam Industrial Development Agency and Amsterdam Materials Recycling (a subsidiary of U.W. Marx Construction Corp.) to build a construction and demolition landfill in the Amsterdam Industrial Park. We continue to serve the Development Authority of the North Country.
