Review of Garrison Dam Spillway Safety Project

GARRISON, N.D. – On Thursday, October 10, Senator John Hoeven will join officials from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in reviewing the $1.5 billion spillway safety project that’s being undertaken at Garrison Dam. The modifications are needed to protect against multiple long-term issues that could result in uncontrolled releases from the dam, posing a significant risk to the downstream area. As a member of the Senate Energy and Water Development Appropriations Committee, Hoeven has been working to advance solutions to the spillway structural issues at the dam, having secured funding for the Preconstruction Engineering and Design (PED) that began in 2023.
