MEMORANDUM OPINION

WALTON, District Judge.

This lawsuit involves the issue of whether, pursuant to the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387 (2000), the Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) alleged approval of the State of New Mexico’s implementation plan regarding the attainment of Total Maximum Daily Loads (“TMDLs”), was arbitrary and capricious. Currently before the Court are the parties’ motions for summary judgment. Concluding that there has been no final agency action in this matter, the Court will grant the defendants’ motion and dismiss plaintiffs complaint.
