COFFEY, Circuit Judge.

(“Rueth”), brought this action in the district court seeking to restrain the government from asserting jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq., over property Rueth was developing. The district court granted the government’s Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1) motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because the EPA had not issued a final order nor sought administrative penalties against Rueth. We affirm.
