    (BELLEVILLE),

    THE ST. CLAIR COUNTY BOARD,
    Respondents,
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    On February 26,
    1992, Laidlaw Waste Systems
    (Belleville),
    Inc.
    (“Laidlaw”)
    filed a “Motion to Release Record on Appeal”.
    Citizens for Controlled Landfills and YMCA of south West Illinois
    have not responded to the motion.
    In its motion, Laidlaw asks that the Board release all of
    the documents that are in the Board’s possession and that are
    contained in the record on appeal.
    Such documents were compiled
    by the St. Clair County Clerk.
    In support of its motion,
    .Laidlaw
    notes that the record contains approximately 17,000 pages and
    that it wishes to save duplication expenses by using the
    documents in the record again at its Belleville facility.
    Laidlaw also notes that appellant
    (i.e.,
    YMCA) voluntarily
    dismissed its appeal of the case before the Fifth District
    Appellate Court on January
    3,
    1992.
    YMCA of Southwest Illinois
    v. Laidlaw Waste Systems,
    Inc.
    and the St. Clair County Board,
    No.
    5—91—0784
    (5th Dist. Order of January
    2,
    1992).
    Laidlaw
    asserts,
    therefore,
    that the Board’s decision in PCB 91—89 and
    91-90 stands because time for filing another appeal has expired.
    Finally, Laidlaw notes that,
    on February 6,
    1992,
    the Board
    previously granted its motion to release all large exhibits in
    the record.
    The State Records Act, Ill.Rev.
    Stat.
    1991,
    ch.
    116,
    par.
    43.4 et seq., requires the maintencance of records except as
    provided by law.
    As a result, the Board must retain one copy of
    the record in its files.
    The Board, however, will release to
    Laidlaw those portions of the record that it has
    in duplicate.
    Laidlaw is directed to contact the Clerk of the Board to arrange
    procedures for the delivery of any duplicate record.
    Laidlaw
    shall bear the costs of delivery.
    Laidlaw is free to obtain copies of any portion of the
    record from the Board if the Board does not have a duplicate
