Conflicts and open questions
- The published PDX194 address and the reporting place the site at or near Hermiston, while the agreements are with the City of Umatilla. No record opened says which city's limits, if any, include the site.
- County minutes do not name Powerline Road or the PDX numbers; matching their two Greater Umatilla orders to these sites is inferred from the October 2022 date in the city packet.
- The map point is approximate; the address was not geocoded.
