More than 2 years after the spillway at Oroville Dam was breached, the State Department of Water Resources has agreed to pay Butte County for road repairs. A lawsuit was filed by the county for roadway damage resulting from the Oroville spillways incident in February 2017. The suit contended that repair efforts by DWR resulted in heavy truck traffic on county roads. The county will receive $12 Million, with full discretion as to the use of the funds.
