This report was taken by Officer Deputy Ranger at Utah Lake State Park.  In order to expedite the report I am entering it under my name.

The operator was driving his boat northbound on Utah Lake just off the east side and south of the Lindon Boat Harbor.  The approximate speed was 20 mph when the boat struck a submerged pipe known as the "bubble up" extending into the lake from the old Geneva Steel property.  No buoys or markers were observed.  No injuries were observed.

Follow up on 8/17/2010, placement of eight danger buoys were placed on the pipe.  A letter to the pipe owner was issued stating the accident, and the actions that Utah State Parks has performed in making the pipe, actions that are required, and an issuance of an application for a navigation hazard.

In contact with the boat operator the vessel was not insured.
