FEMA is refusing to pay California more than $300 million in repair funds for Oroville Dam
The Trump administration is refusing to pay more than $300 million in federal funds California sought to repair the Oroville Dam, which suffered a spillway crisis in 2017 after heavy rains that led to nearly 200,000 residents getting evacuated downstream from the nation's tallest earthen dam.
The administration's rejection of $306 million in costs for the Oroville Dam means the federal government would pay less than one third of the total cost the state was forced to spend on the emergency repairs. The state agency said in a release FEMA's public assistance program should reimburse applicants such as the state for"at least 75 percent of eligible costs with a federally declared disaster."
