    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
    On November 17, 1997, American Waste Processing, Ltd. (American Waste
    Processing) filed a motion to reconsider the Board’s October 16, 1997 order in which Board
    denied American Waste Processing’s motion to dismiss. The People filed a response to the
    motion to dismiss on December 1, 1997.
    In ruling upon a motion for reconsideration, the Board is to consider factors including,
    but not limited to, error in the previous decision and facts in the record which are overlooked.
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.246(d). In
     
    Citizens Against Regional Landfill v. County Board of
    Whiteside County (March 11, 1993), PCB 93-156, the Board stated that “[t]he 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.” Korogluyan v. Chicago Title & Trust
    Co., 213 Ill. App.3d 622, 572 N.E.2d 1154 (1st Dist. 1992).
    The motion to reconsider is denied. The Board finds nothing in the motion to
    reconsider which persuades the Board that its decision of October 16, 1997, was in error, or
    that facts were overlooked. Therefore, this case shall proceed as ordered on October 16,
    1997.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the18th day of December, 1997 by a vote of 7-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
