: When restoring the West Fork Lane Bridge (Facility), Webster County (Applicant) exceeded the eligible scope of work (SOW) by constructing a new bridge that did not conform to the predisaster design of the destroyed bridge. The Applicant did not demonstrate that the improvements were required by an eligible standard nor did it receive authorization for the changes prior to beginning work as required. Consequently, FEMA appropriately deobligated all funding.
