Malfunctioning Air Conditioning Unit Closes Umatilla Chemical Depot 2/12/11
A malfunctioning air conditioning unit Saturday, Feb. 12, resulted in the closure of the Umatilla Chemical Depot.
Umatilla County Emergency Manager Jim Stearns, who was out of the area, said he was reached by cell phone by emergency dispatchers and was told operations were shutting down due to the system glitch.
A depot spokesman said the incident is merely a maintenance issue and poses no danger for personnel or people in the area.
