So he replaced it and said wait 70 miles and it should cut off but its still on!!!! Any solutions or fixes for this problem!?!?!?!

Which engine is it and mileage of vehicle?
You need to find out the exact code number, go to autozone or any parts store that will read the codes for you and post them. Once they have been read and you know the codes have them erase them if they will if not disconnect the negative battery cable for about 1/2 hour and drive see if cel comes back on. You may have not had enough cycles for the light to go off yet.
I would star looking for a different mechanic, he should have erased the code after installation of new egr valve.
