    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    On April 20, 2006, the Board denied a motion for summary judgment filed by
    respondents Robert Pruim and Edward Pruim (jointly the Pruims), concerning the May 21, 2004
    nineteen-count complaint filed against them in docket PCB 04-207. The allegations in the
    complaint revolve around the Pruims’ management, operation, and ownership of Community
    Landfill Company (CLC) and the Morris Community Landfill in Morris, Grundy County. On
    May 30, 2006, the Pruims filed a motion to reconsider that decision, again arguing facts related
    to their lack of personal involvement in CLC’s day-to-day operations. Complainant filed a
    response in opposition on June 6, 2006.
    In ruling on a motion for reconsideration, the Board will consider factors including new
    evidence or a change in the law, to conclude that the Board’s decision was in error. 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 101.902. In Citizens Against Regional Landfill v. County Board of Whiteside
    , PCB 93-
    156 (Mar. 11, 1993), the Board observed 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 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, 627, 572
    N.E.2d 1154, 1158 (1st Dist. 1992). The Board finds, as complainant argues, that the Pruims
    2
    have presented no evidence or information on a change in the law that warrants reconsideration
    of the Board’s April 20, 2006 order. Therefore, the motion for reconsideration is denied.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on June 15, 2006, by a vote of 4-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
