District of Columbia's RiverSmart Program
2006
Washington D. C. ’s Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) administers a variety of "RiverSmart" programs to fund projects that reduce stormwater runoff and water pollution. The programs provide financial incentives, in the form of grants and rebates, to fund green infrastructure projects that reduce and treat stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces. Although the RiverSmart program was developed to help the District address water pollution from stormwater runoff, it also supports climate resilience by diverting rainwater from the city’s stormwater system to manage increasingly heavy rainfall events.

Indian Environmental General Assistance Program
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (GAP), providing non-competitive GAP grant funds to tribal governments and intertribal consortia to develop environmental protection programs. While acknowledging tribal sovereignty of their lands and resources, the grants support federally authorized EPA regulatory programs as established through joint EPA-Tribal Environmental Plans (ETEPs). Since 1992, GAP programs have primarily focused on remediation of air, water, and hazardous waste pollutants.
