Abstract: At 9:49 a.m. on October 22, 1992, Employee #1 was salvaging aluminum cans at a landfill for a salvaging company. She was picking up aluminum cans from garbage piles that had been dumped by large commercial garbage trucks. A Caterpillar D9H dozer was keeping the dump area open by pushing the piles onto the landfill and spreading them out. The area was congested with three lanes for commercial vehicles and one lane for the public. Employee #1 was behind one of three large piles (up to 12 ft high) and out of view of the dozer operator when he pushed a pile onto the landfill. Employee #1 was run over, buried, and killed by the bulldozer. After her husband asked about his wife's whereabouts, he and landfill workers began looking and found her buried in the landfill. Employee #1's body was removed by the Butte County Coroner's Office.
