RedactedNarrative: I, conservation officer responded to multiple boat accidents on lake manawa on 09/26/2020 at approximately 1658 hours. 
  When i arrived at the north boat ramps of lake manawa, i met state park ranger who advised that three boats had hit the dredge pipeline and were taking on water. 
  
  Two of the boats were located at the north boat ramps and the third was stuck on the pipeline. Council bluffs fire department were also on scene and had assisted the two boats back to the dock as well as the occupants of the third vessel. I ensured that no one was seriously injured as i made contact with individuals from each boat. 
  The two boats at the dock were a bayliner capri 1750 ls with nebraska registration number 594 jxn operated by operator 1
  
  Operator 1 was the first to take his boat off the water. The lower unit of his mercruiser motor was torn off and was dragging behind the boat connected by cables. I took pictures of the vessel once it was out of the water far enough to be viewed. Once the boat had drained sufficiently, i had operator 1 take his boat to the parking lot where i handed him a "vessel occurrence operator's report form" and began filling out a "vessel occurrence officer's report form."
  
  I completed the forms with operator 1 and, after park staff assisted securing the damaged lower unit, operator 1 and his passengers left. 
  Later in the evening, i met with individuals who were on the dredge at the time of the occurrences. They said that they took pictures of the boats and i asked them to email those to me and handed them my business card. They emailed me the next morning and those pictures are attached with the case file. 
  
  Officers and i then went onto the lake and used gps to mark the buoys and sign demarking the dredge pipeline. I have put those onto a map that is also attached to this case. Furthermore, signs are located at the public ramps on lake manawa identifying the different markers on the water in relation to the dredging project. I have included pictures of this sign on at the north boat ramps with this case. All boats were traveling in an easterly direction when they struck the pipe. 
  
  Operator 1 struck the pipeline second (ia2020 0036)
  
  All indiviuals on this boat were consuming alcohol.
