Col. William J. Whelan, com
mander of the Umatilla Army
IVpot, gave his listeners at the
Heppner-MorroW county Cham
ber of Commerce an Idea of
the magnitude of the depot and
Its Importance lit serving the
armed forces when he address
ed the group Monday.
The depot, which has 1018
buildings and covers almost
20.000 acres, ships in and out
about 20.000 tons uf supplies per
month, he said.
Annual payroll Is about $7.5
million per year of which $5.5
to $6 million funnels into IK'r
mlston where most of the em
ployees live. Present work force
numbers 861 persons, but this
has ranged as high as 1132 at
one time.
"If the war ends, we will have
an upsurge coming; in," Col.
Whelan said. Several thousand
types of items have been re
turned from Vietnam to be
classified and put in storage.
Sales will be held for the pub
lic this summer on some of
these returned items, he added.
The Umatilla depot, land for
which was purchased at a cost
of $26,000, is valued at some
$75 million today.
"Its true value is probably
closer to $30 million," the col
onel said. It has 186 miles of
roads and 53 miles of railroads.
The depot can handle 1100 rail
road cars in its classification
yards.
Besides handling. storing,
shipping and preparing ammu
nition, the depot has a supply
of critical metals, and has such
things as piping and water pur
ification units.
It uses Pendleton airport for
air cargo, is served by motor
transport, and also uses barge
operations that come within 3 Mi
miles, from where materials re
hauled to and from the depot
by truck.
The depot has Its own rail
way system and has an airstrip
for smaller aircraft. It has Its
own fire department, its own
cafeteria, and a dispensary, as
well as an automatic data pro
cessing system in the adminis
tration building.
About half of the depot's ac
reage lies In Morrow county,
and the remainder Is In Uma
tilla county.
Among Items, as well as am
munition, that have been pre
pared for shipment to Vietnam
are such things as sandbags.
cots, mattresses, fuels and lu
bricants.
The depot makes some of Its
own machinery, maintains us
own equipment, works on rocx.
et motors, and packages and re'
packages ammunition. It also
stores toxics In tne lorm oi
nerve gasses and mustard gasa
es.
In regard to the safety factor,
Col. Whelan, who Is to snip out
for Vietnam late In the forth
coming summer, said that some
of the gasses are stored "In a
tank within a tank within a
tank within a tank" to be sure
that leakage doesnt occur.
Most of the ammunition
leavng the Umatlla Depot
goes to Bangor, Wash., for snip
ping by boat.
None of the bombs handled
at the depot are fused, and thus.
handling them is considered
very safe. However, the depot
has an active safety program
and every safety precaution is
taken, down to wearing spark
prof shoes.
One explosion occurred In a
storage igloo in 1944.
Col. Whelan was accompanied
here by his wife, who was al
so a guest of the Chamber. Pres
ident Jerry Sweeney introduced
the speaker.
