SALEM It all begins with B5. Or ends, depending on how you look at it.

Demolition began at Salem Harbor Station Wednesday afternoon, with crews first setting upon one of the power plants 11 steel tanks. The work was supposed to begin Monday, but it was delayed by the lightning storms in the area.

Workers on site said they were thrilled the plant is finally hitting the demolition milestone.

Its been a long time coming, said Lou Arak, project director.

B5 is a large oil tank between the plants former coal pile and Derby Street. The process to demolish it involves cutting off pieces with a claw tool on a long-reach excavator. The tool is used both to slice sections of the steel and then grab them out of place.

It can actually shear like scissors would, Arak said. When you pull it, itll pull across the weld lines.

Before workers could get that far, they had to tear open an entrance in the retaining wall that surrounds the tank, so the excavator could get in. This was also done with the excavator. The wall will remain in place while the tank is coming down, as it blocks noise.

The pieces of tank will be stored on site temporarily and then transferred to a barge at the plants former coal dock, from which theyll travel to a steel recycling facility.

The beginning of the demolition comes after a cleanup phase that saw a small group of workers disconnect electricity, drain oil from machines and perform other tasks in the weeks immediately following the plants shutdown at the end of May. Demolition will focus first on the sites southerly portions, an area populated by tanks and the massive coal conveyor.

Before they can be dismantled, the tanks have to be thoroughly cleaned out. Two of them still need to be cleaned; one was left with oil during the plants last weeks, so the plant could generate electricity again should the regional grid operator request it.

That agreement closed Wednesday.

"What happens now is the project in phases is fully funded -- the city side and the team side. The project can now move forward," said Russ Fehr, treasurer for the City of Sacramento.

The Supreme Court Friday cleared the decks for shifting Sahara chief Subrata Roy and two other directors to a make-shift jail in the conference hall at the Tihar Jail court complex to facilitate his negotiations for the sale of his properties in India and abroad.

A bench of Justice T.S.Thakur, Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice A.K.Sikri said that the Delhi government will issue a notification designating the conference hall as a jail by Aug 4 where Roy along with two other directors - Ravi Shankar Dubey and Ashok Roy Choudhary - will be shifted Aug 5 and stay for ten working days.

This is being done to enable Roy to raise Rs.10,000 crore to make part payment of the investors money raised in 2008-09. The apex court by its March 4 order had asked Sahara to deposit Rs.5,000 crore to be paid in cash and Rs.5,000 crore through bank guarantee.

Raising this money is also a condition for the release of Roy and two other directors who are in judicial custody since March 4 for not complying with the apex court order of Aug 30, 2012 and Dec 5, 2012 to pay back to the investors the Rs. 24,000 crores that two Sahara companies SIRECL and SHICL had raised through optionally fully convertible debentures (OFCDs) in 2008-09.

Roy had moved the court seeking to be shifted to an outhouse with conference facilities within the Tihar jail complex for negotiating with prospective buyers or lenders of three overseas Sahara hotels - Grosvenor House Hotel in London and the New York Plaza and Dream New York hotels in New York.

In the make-shift jail in the conference hall, Roy will have the assistance of two secretarial staff and a technical person who would operate the electronic equipment including video conferencing.

The court permitted the use of two computers, two laptops, a mobile and a landline. They will be provided with the facility of video conferencing, wide screen and WiFi by the jail authorities but Sahara will have to bear the cost.

The secretarial staff and technical person will be allowed to enter the jail premises by 6 a.m. (lock out time) and leave at 8 p.m. (lock in time).

Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar, appearing for the government, opposed the plea to allow the three Sahara staffers to stay beyond 8 p.m. as contact with American buyers/lenders will take place only after that time.

He also said that Sahara staffers should not be allowed to come to Tihar Jail on Sundays and gazetted holidays.
