    (Pollution Control Facility Siting Appeal)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    On June 9, 1998, petitioners filed a motion asking the Board to reconsider its May 7,
    1998, opinion and order affirming the Saline County Board of Commissioners siting of a
    pollution control facility. On June 12, 1998, Landfill L.L.C. filed a response to the motion to
    reconsider.
    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 May 7, 1998, was in error, or that
    facts were overlooked.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 17th day of June 1998, by a vote of 6-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
