Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:59 p.m. on November 18, 2000, Employee #1 was walking across the caster run out table to access a set of steps. As he stepped onto an undersized grate, he fell 14 ft into the flume water, moving at a rate of 3300 gallons per minute. The water transported him down a channel to the scale pit where a water pump pulled him under the water and drew him into the device killing him.
