ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by JC.

Marlin):

On July 30,

1992,

the Board entered a default order

in this

matter.

On August 10,

1992, respondent filed a handwritten letter

which stated,

in its entirety:

In re your letter (certified) received August

3,

1992,

I

do not feel that

I owe any fine.

I was not at home

(on

the premises)

at the time the alleged burning of tires

took place.

I

have

proof

of

my whereabouts

on that

evening.

All the tires have been cleaned up.

I did not

burn any tires on my property then or in the past years.

Therefore,

I do not

feel that

I

owe the $500.00

fine.

Thank you.

The letter does not indicate that a copy of the letter was sent to

the Agency.

The Board construes this letter as a motion to reconsider and

to vacate the default

order.

The Agency

is directed to file a

response to be received by the Board on or before August 31,

1992;

as this order contains the full text of the letter, the Board will

not require that the letter itself be served on the Agency.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Dorothy N.

Gunn,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board,

hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the

/cD~-
