What the source record says
No confirmed street address found as of 2026-09-13 -- sources describe the parcel only as 'west of Sills Road, north side of the LIE North Service Road' in Yaphank. Coordinates are the Yaphank hamlet centroid (OSM Nominatim), NOT the parcel -- disclosed here per contract rule H; do not treat as parcel-level precision.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
