1Opinion of the Court
SEYMOUR, Chief Judge.
Appellants Peter Maier, the Intermountain Water Alliance, the Atlantic States Legal Foundation, the Utah Wilderness Association, and Kay Henry1 petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to initiate rulemaking under the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387. Mr. Maier contended that recent developments in municipal wastewater technology have rendered the EPA’s regulations for secondary treatment inadequate, and therefore the EPA must promulgate new standards. The EPA denied the petition, and Mr. Maier appealed to this court. We affirm.
