Abstract: At approximately 1:00 p.m. on April 16, 2013, an incident occurred where Employee #1 was engaged in performing a stream survey for future habitat restoration work. Employee #1 was floating down a local river on a pontoon raft, with an attached rowing frame. As Employee #1 negotiated her craft through a small riffle, the current pushed the raft into an overhanging tree limb which caused the raft to flip. Employee #1 was caught under water on the rowing frame by the shoulder strap and drowned. She was airlifted to a local hospital and was pronounced deceased upon arrival.
