Evidence

USACE says the Howard A. Hanson Dam Additional Water Storage Project is still in the design phase and that construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2030, pending appropriations.

Official project status shows the broader Howard A. Hanson Dam effort is not fully delivered yet and still depends on future appropriations.

The 2026 funding package included $190 million for a fish passage and water storage project at Howard A. Hanson Dam, requested by Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell.

This is a concrete later-term funding win for Howard A. Hanson Dam, but it is broader than the specific $8.461 million hydraulic-cylinder request.

The claim is framed as a promise to request FY2026 appropriations, not to complete the full dam project. The available evidence indicates Cantwell was one of the senators who requested Howard A. Hanson Dam funding and that Congress later included a much larger FY2026 appropriation for the project. Although the cited funding line is broader than the exact $8.461 million hydraulic-cylinder request and the overall project remains unfinished, those facts do not undercut the narrower act of making the request. On the record provided, the request itself appears fulfilled during her current Senate term.
