At approximately 10:30 a.m. on May 2, 2011, Employee #1, a permanent plant maintenance mechanic at the water treatment plant for the City of American Canyon, CA, and a coworker were working at the waste water treatment plant. The employees were working on a submersible pump at the deck of the aeration basin/tank of the plant. Afterwards, Employee #1 went to get a piece of tool from his truck, which was parked at an access road, approximately 15 feet to 20 feet away from the worksite. Another employee later found Employee #1 lying unresponsive and face down, beside his truck. Employee #1 apparently experienced cardiovascular or respiratory failure.
