The record, newest first

  1. An undated news report, citing the Morrow County assessor, counted three Amazon data centers on Rippee Road, with market value above $703 million, about $641 million of it exempt under the Columbia River Enterprise Zone. (The Seattle Times, undated)

  2. DEQ approved the risk assessment. The acute noncancer hazard index of 1.4 was over the 0.5 source permit level, with other values under it, so the permit will carry source risk limits; a permit application was due Jan. 16, 2026. (Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Dec. 17, 2025)

  3. DEQ called the facility, source 25-0008 under a standard air permit, into Cleaner Air Oregon, which requires a risk assessment. (Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, June 27, 2024; Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Dec. 17, 2025)

  4. DEQ gives this as the year the site began operating; Vadata, Amazon's earlier operating name here, ran it before Amazon Data Services. (Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Dec. 17, 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The map point is approximate, placed from the street address and the East Beach Industrial Park description in the news report.
  • DEQ's page lists the emissions inventory approval as Jan. 31, 2024, among 2025 entries; the year looks like a typo and is not used here.
  • The news report shows no date on the page; it refers to fiscal year 2017. It puts Amazon's first Morrow County data center online in 2011, without saying which site that was.
