    Respondent.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    On July 27,
    1989,
    the Board entered a default order in this
    matter,
    finding a violation of Section 21(q) (1)
    of the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Act and imposing a $500.00
    fine.
    On
    April
    2,
    1990,
    Mrs. William White filed a Motion for
    Reconsideration
    of the Board’s July 27,
    1989 default order.
    On
    April 12,
    1990, the Board issued an order seeking additional
    information from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency) regarding the matter.
    The Agency filed its response to
    the order on May 7,
    1990.
    On May 24,
    1990, the Board issued a
    second order requesting Mr. White to respond to the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency’s
    (Agency’s) May 7,
    1990
    response,
    and requesting the Agency to provide further
    information in this matter.
    Mrs. White filed a response to the
    Board’s order on June
    6,
    1990.
    The Agency filed its response on
    June 11,
    1990.
    On June 18,
    1990,
    Mrs.
    White filed
    a reply to the
    Agency’s June 11,
    1990 response.
    At the outset, the Board notes that Mrs. White filed her
    June 18,
    1990 reply without leave of the Board.
    We will give
    Mrs. White the benefit of the doubt of not knowing of the Board’s
    procedural requirements because she
    is acting pro
    ~,
    and accept
    the reply.
    The Board also notes that it initiated the request
    for more information and that it
    is in the interest of all
    concerned to elicit as much information as possible in this
    matter.
    With regard to the Motion for Reconsideration,
    Mrs. White
    claims that no Petition for Review was filed with the Board
    because of confusion as to whether or not a petition needed to be
    filed.
    Although the Agency admits that this case precedes a
    change in its procedures that was made to avoid confusion of this
    nature,
    it recommends denial of the Motion for Reconsideration.
    After a careful review of all of the above-mentioned
    filings, the Board believes there
    is just cause to grant the
    Motion
    for Reconsideration, vacate our July 27,
    1989 default
    order, and dismiss this proceeding.
    112—427

    Board Members J. Marlin,
    J. Theodore Meyer, and B. Forcade
    dissented.
