FEMA Funding for Oroville Dam
Oroville Dam, is getting an additional three-hundred-eight million dollars in federal funds. The money comes from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the extra funding will be used for Spillway repairs and reconstruction. Those funds are on top of the two-hundred-sixty million dollars that FEMA has already committed to the lower portion of the Spillway. Massive erosion in the Spillway forced the evacuation of more than 180-thousand Californians four years ago.
