    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    On August 23,
    1993 J&M Plating,
    Inc.
    (J&M)
    filed a motion
    requesting the Board to supplement the record by incorporating
    another document into J&M’s earlier supplement to the
    administrative record.
    The requested supplement, attached as
    Group Exhibit
    T,
    consists of an Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency) document dated February 13,
    1985:
    In the Matter
    of: Alloy Plating Corporation, Notice to Parties Liable for a
    Release or a Substantial Threat of
    a Release. The Agency has not
    responded to the motion.
    In support of its motion to supplement, J&M states that it
    inadvertantly omitted the above document when it filed an earlier
    July
    19,
    1993 motion to supplement the record.’
    The July
    19,
    1993 motion was granted by the Board on August
    5,
    1993.
    J&M asserts that the attached Group Exhibit T:
    a)
    shows that
    the Agency itself in 1985 alleged a release of certain hazardous
    substances at the site with a threat of further releases in the
    future; and b)
    that despite formal allegations contained in the
    Agency’s February,
    1985 notice,
    the Agency “did not require a
    full site characteriztion and cleanup in 1985 and 1986”.
    J&M
    further asserts that Group Exhibit T is provided from the
    Agency’s own files, having been obtained as a result of a Freedom
    of Information Act Request as shown by Group Exhibit S of the
    petitioner’s earlier supplement to the record.
    The Board grants J&M’s motion to incorporate Group Exhibit T
    into its earlier supplement to the record for the reasons
    expressed in the Board’s August
    5,
    1993 order.
    The Board will
    not repeat those reasons here except to again emphasize that
    it
    is not inferring that it has hereby determined that the
    information contained
    in the exhibits
    is relevant to this matter.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    We note that on June
    3,
    1993, the Board also granted a May
    26,
    1993 motion by the Agency to supplement the record.
