populating the easting and northing fields with $x and $y creates a bit of a dangerous situation because we have switched to Albers (3005) and are getting lat and long vs utm_northing/easting...
We don't want people to populate the pscis spreadsheet with the wrong coordinates.
A better option is likely for folks to populate the utms themselves and if they or we want to use the geom to determine the utm we pull it out with R or something else ....
