    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by R.C.
    Fleiual):
    On January 13,
    1995,
    Marathon Oil Company
    (Marathon)
    filed a
    Motion to Reconsider the Board’s December 14,
    1994 order and
    opinion.
    The motion was filed pursuant to
    35 Ill. Adm. Code
    101.246 and 101.300.
    This matter was originally before the Board
    on a motion for partial summary judgment filed by the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
    on November 2,
    1994, and
    a reply and cross motion for partial summary judgment filed by
    Marathon on November 21,
    1994.
    The motion for reconsideration
    asks the Board to reconsider its December 14,
    1994 decision
    upholding the Agency’s denial of $93,911.80
    in corrective costs.
    In ruling upon a motion for reconsideration the Board is to
    consider,
    but is not limited to, error
    in the decision and facts
    in the record which may have been overlooked.
    (35 Ill. Adm. Code
    101.246(d).)
    In Citizens Against Reciional Landfill v. The County
    Board of Whiteside County (March 11,
    1993),
    PCB 93—156, we stated
    that “the
    intended purpose of a motion for reconsideration is
    to bring to the court’s attention newly discovered evidence which
    was not available at the time of the hearing, changes in the law
    or errors in the court’s previous application of the existing
    law.
    (Korogluvan v. Chicago Title
    & Trust Co.
    (1st Dist.
    1992),
    213 Iii. App.3d 622,
    572 N.E.2d 1154,1158.)”
    Marathon’s motion for reconsideration does not present the
    Board with new evidence,
    a change in the law,
    or any other reason
    to conclude that the Board’s December 14,
    1994 decision was in
    error.
    Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration
    is hereby
    denied.
    On January 27,
    1995 Marathon filed a Motion for Voluntary
    Dismissal of the remaining claim for $1,012.50.
    That motion is
    granted.
    This matter is hereby dismissed and this docket is
    accordingly closed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
