Aerial view of Dworshak Dam on the North Fork of the Clearwater River in northern Idaho as seen in December 2007. In May 2012, USACE reclassified Dworshak Dam and Reservoir, near Orofino, Idaho, as a Dam Safety Action Classification III (DSAC III) after a rigorous study and review by USACE dam safety experts. Dworshak Dam was initially classified in October 2007 as DSAC II “Urgent” because of engineering unknowns related to structural stability and foundation seepage of concrete gravity sections.
