   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3404
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and John R. Gibson,
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Clean Water Act. The district court did not err in finding
   that an association of businesses formed to address its members' concerns
   about utility services did not have standing to intervene in an action to
   enforce the Clean Water Act against the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer
   District as the association did not adequately allege that it will suffer a
   concrete and particularized injury; further the association did not even
   attempt to establish two other key components of Article III standing -
   that its injury is fairly traceable to the challenged action and that its
   injury is likely to be redressed by a favorable decision; nor did the
   association have the right to intervene under either Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)
   (1) or 24(a)(2).
