AHSAHKA, Idaho (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it plans to increase flows leaving Dworshak Dam in northern Idaho starting Sunday to make room for snowmelt.

Officials tell the Lewiston Tribune (http://bit.ly/1oXW4JS) that flows in the Clearwater River will increase from 14,100 cubic feet per second to about 17,100.

The agency says the reservoir on Friday was at an elevation of 1,535 feet, about 65 feet below full pool.
