Steps
Confirm eligibility at https://doee.dc.gov/service/riversmart-rewards-eligibility — the discount applies to DOEE's Stormwater Fee (up to 55% off) for reducing runoff via green infrastructure like bioretention, permeable pavement, or rainwater harvesting
Use the discount calculation guidance at https://doee.dc.gov/calculating-a-riversmart-rewards-discount to estimate the retention-volume-based discount before proposing GI scope to the client
Submit the combined application (RiverSmart Rewards plus DC Water's Clean Rivers IAC Incentive Program, up to 20% off the Impervious Area Charge) via https://doee.dc.gov/riversmart-rewards-applications
Note that properties enrolled through RiverSmart Homes are auto-enrolled in RiverSmart Rewards once the first GI practice is installed, but must re-enroll after three years
Confirm the discount posts to the DC Water bill, not a separate DOEE bill, so set client expectations about where the savings appear
Known gotchas
The discount is calculated against retention of runoff from a 1.2-inch storm — undersized GI relative to the property's impervious area yields a partial, not maximum, discount
Re-enrollment is required roughly every three years; a client who forgot to re-enroll will see the discount lapse even though the GI is still installed and functioning
