    )
    AS 95-8
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 304.124
    )
    (Adjusted Standard)
    ORDER OF THE
    BOARD
    (by G.
    T. Girard);
    On November 15,
    1995, petitioner filed a motion to
    reconsider the Board’s October 19,
    1995, opinion and order.
    Petitioner also filed an amended petition on November 15,
    1995,
    and on November 29,
    1995, petitioner filed proof of publication.
    The Agency has not filed a response.
    In ruling upon a motion for reconsideration the Board
    is to
    consider, but is not limited to, error in the previous decision
    and racts in the record which may have been overlooked.
    (35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 101.246(d).)
    In Citizens Against Regional 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.
    (Koropluvan v. Chicago Title &
    Trust Co.
    (1st Dist.
    1992), 213
    Ill. App.3d 622,
    572 N.E.2d
    1154.)
    Petitioner
    is asking the Board to reconsider its previous
    order and issue a new order which would include an adjusted
    standard £or total suspended solids
    (TSS).
    Heretofore,
    petitioner had not requested such relief in this proceeding.
    A
    motion to reconsider
    is not the proper means for petitioner to
    request for the first time that the Board consider such relief.
    Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is denied.
    The Board will however accept the amended petition as a new
    petition for adjusted standard, waiving the filing fee.
    The
    amended petition will be docketed as
    a new adjusted standard
    request in AS 96—5.
    The Board will hold the petition until the
    Agency files a recommendation which is due no later than January
    10,
    1996.
