A method of separating an association of orbits, a stream, from the local background using the traditional D discriminant is introduced. Applying this procedure to all 708 asteroids with perihelia less than 1.3 AU known on April 22, 1999 suggests that the orbits of Earth-approaching asteroids may be rather organized. By searching the volume around every orbit in the sample space, 14 associations are found with from 4 to 25 members that statistically stand out from the local background. A more traditional search, where orbits are gathered into strings with every orbit connected to at least one other orbit by D
