### sec.173J Particular matters for making decision
In deciding whether to grant the end of waste approval, the chief executive must consider whether—
the proposed management of the particular waste or the use of a particular resource is likely to cause any serious environmental harm, material environmental harm or environmental nuisance; and
it is reasonably practicable for an end of waste code to be made for the particular waste the subject of the application.
See section 173V for the general criteria that apply for deciding the application.
The period for deciding the application is 40 business days and the period may be extended for 20 business days.
If the chief executive decides to grant the end of waste approval, the notice given to the applicant under section 173W must state the particular waste to which the approval relates.
