(2) A consent order is a final order of the Department, having the same force and effect as a remedial order issued pursuant to 220 CMR 69.07.
(3) A consent order shall not be appealable and shall include an express waiver of appeal or judicial review rights that might otherwise attach to a final order of the Department.
