This card is played tapped and can only be untapped during your organization phase if the company is at a different Under-deeps site. If untapped and at a Haven [-me_ha-] , this card may be stored in your marshalling point pile-only if stored do you receive its marshalling points. Cannot be duplicated on a given company.
Bold original.

How to understand: "tap the site if untapped."

Is it a main effect of the card, or rather its active condition?

I'd say the tapping is one of the effects. I believe that tapping only necessitates an active condition when it is a condition for another effect. (Underline mine:)

(The tap action still necessitates a target active condition.)

I have to believe that if it was an active condition, the card would say "Playable on a company at an untapped Under-deeps site..." To me, the card text as written can be summed up as "No matter what the state of the site was prior to playing this card, it is tapped afterward."
