ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J. Anderson):
On February 26,
1992, Laidlaw Waste Systems
(Belleville),
Inc.
(“Laidlaw”)
filed a “Motion to Release Record on Appeal”.
Citizens for Controlled Landfills and YMCA of south West Illinois
have not responded to the motion.
In its motion, Laidlaw asks that the Board release all of
the documents that are in the Board’s possession and that are
contained in the record on appeal.
Such documents were compiled
by the St. Clair County Clerk.
In support of its motion,
.Laidlaw
notes that the record contains approximately 17,000 pages and
that it wishes to save duplication expenses by using the
documents in the record again at its Belleville facility.
Laidlaw also notes that appellant
(i.e.,
YMCA) voluntarily
dismissed its appeal of the case before the Fifth District
Appellate Court on January
3,
1992.

v. Laidlaw Waste Systems,
Inc.
and the St. Clair County Board,
No.
5—91—0784
(5th Dist. Order of January
2,
1992).
Laidlaw
asserts,
therefore,
that the Board’s decision in PCB 91—89 and
91-90 stands because time for filing another appeal has expired.
Finally, Laidlaw notes that,
on February 6,
1992,
the Board
previously granted its motion to release all large exhibits in
the record.
The State Records Act, Ill.Rev.
Stat.
1991,
ch.
116,
par.
43.4 et seq., requires the maintencance of records except as
provided by law.
As a result, the Board must retain one copy of
the record in its files.
The Board, however, will release to
Laidlaw those portions of the record that it has
in duplicate.
Laidlaw is directed to contact the Clerk of the Board to arrange
procedures for the delivery of any duplicate record.
Laidlaw
shall bear the costs of delivery.
Laidlaw is free to obtain copies of any portion of the
record from the Board if the Board does not have a duplicate
