The ruling is 53 pages, but this is the summary:

VI. CONCLUSION
Consistent with the discussion above, the Department finds that each Municipality’s proposed Plan, with all modifications required herein, satisfies the procedural and substantive requirements contained in G.L. c. 164, § 134(a). In addition, the Department finds that each Municipality’s proposed Plan, as further amended consistent with the directives contained herein, meets the requirements established by the Department concerning aggregated service. Accordingly, the Department approves each Municipality’s Plan, as amended consistent with the directives contained herein. Failure of either Municipality to launch its Program within two years of the date of final Department approval of the Plan (i.e., Department approval of the compliance filing) shall result in revocation of the approval of the Plan without further notice or other action by the Department.
