Demolition beginsThis aerial photo taken about 11:00 AM, December 18 shows the demolition on the mill thus far. The wood frame structure that was on the left is gone. You can see a loader moving the debris. Another wood structure is gone from the right side. A large section of the main roof has been removed. I'm told that parts of the roof were transported intact to Pittsfield to become part of a new building. 

The group of objects in the lower right corner are those drums filled with gray stuff from the monitoring wells that have drilled around the area. I'm sure the contents will be treated with the 35,000 cubic yards of soil to be decontaminated next year. Click on this picture to see a larger copy.
