President Donald Trump has denied Pennsylvania's request for federal disaster aid to help cover more than $7 million in costs associated with March's snowstorm.

"This disaster declaration would have provided much-needed financial assistance to hard-hit communities in northeastern Pennsylvania," Gov. Tom Wolf said Thursday, in a written statement.

The Trump administration did not respond to a request for comment on the denial.

Last month, Trump approved aid for a winter storm that struck Utah in February. That storm cost Utah roughly $6 million, according to that state's Division of Emergency Management.

In a letter regarding Pennsylvania's request, FEMA Acting Administrator Robert J. Fenton wrote, "it has been determined that the damage from this event was not of such severity and magnitude as to be beyond the capabilities of the commonwealth and affected local governments."

March's storm dumped up to 30 inches of snow across the state's northeastern region. Some parts of central Pennsylvania saw between six and 12 inches of snowfall.

Earlier this month, Wolf submitted a request for aid to cover Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Montour, Northumberland, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties. In total, the state estimated that the storm cost those counties nearly $7.2 million, as well as roughly $70,000 in costs to state agencies.

Estimated costs to the counties and state agencies due to the March storm.

A major disaster declaration through the Federal Emergency Management Agency could reimburse up to 75 percent of costs incurred over a 48-hour period.

"The severity and magnitude of this storm stretched our commonwealth resources well beyond their limits, which is why supplemental federal assistance is now necessary," Wolf said, at the time he made the request.
