Outside contrac­ tors were engaged to design and buil d both the Boiler Pl ant and the overall site . The consulting board , composed mainl y of American Sugar Company engineers and management1 assumed re­ sponsibil ity for layout and design of all process and equi pment . The initial plant was designed to permit a 50% increase in capacity if desired. As built the plant was compo~ed of sixteen s t ructures in­ cluding offices, warehouses and ancill ary bui ldings. At the east end of the property is the powerhouse with a nearby coal storage tower. North of it with an axis parallel to the bul k­ head is the Raw Sugar Shed with i ts cranes for unloading ships. West of the Powerhouse is the Machi ne Shop. Southwest of the Raw Sugar Shed are the Wash House and the Filter House . Further west is a U-shaped compl ex composed of the Pan House , Finishing House and the Domino Storage Buildi ng. The plant also had a complete barrel-making pl an t and a three million gallon mo l asses storage tank. Construction of the plant was a difficult engi neering pro ­ blem because more than half of it was built i n the water. Hun­ dreds of piles were driven both on land and i n the harbor with the average water dri ven pile penetrating 6 to 22 f eet of mud and 8 feet of hard strata and up to 30 feet of water. A total of over 1 . 2 million linear feet of piling was dri ven. A mat of heavy ttmbers and planking was built on these pi lings and a rein­ forced concrete foundation l ayed on t his surface . Since this plant was contructed at one time and has been virtually unaltered, al l 4-process buildings have the same rein­ f orced concrete design. They vary i n hei ght s i nce they were designed to house the equi pment necessary to that stage of the refi ning process .

Built in 1921 as a massive complex in the 1000 block of Key Highway , the plant is the second largest refinery in the United States . The Amstar Corporation, which operates the Baltimore plant and 11 other refineries, presently supplies over one quarter of all sugar annually consumed in the United States . Historical Significance I mmediatel y prior to the Civil War , the sugar refining industry in Baltimore greatly expanded. Since col onial times, the city sup­ ported several small refineries which supplied local demand; but in the 1850 ' s the introduction of the vacuum pan process, and other de­ velopments in refining , greatly improved the methods of manufacturing and increased production. Baltimore ' s excellent harbor and proximity to the crude sugar sources, particularly in the West Indies, combined with a well developed rail transportation system, encouraged many new refineries to begin production in the city. By the late 1860 ' s, six large companies--The Baltimore; Calvert; Canton, Chesapeake; Maryland; and Merchants- -all had refi neries in the city. In 1871 The Baltimore Sun described "the refini ng of sugar as most important to the general trade of the city, 11 noting the large numbers of workers employed, the huge amounts of imported raw sugar and t he capital invested. In 1873 , however, the Baltimore sugar refini ng industry collapsed. Stirling , Ahrens and Company, owners of four of the city's refineries and largest importers of molasses and sugar in the United States , de­ clared bankruptcy. Al though several businesses made efforts to revive the industry, from 1875 to 19 20 onl y one refinery operated in Balti­ more . This was the Curtis Bay Sugar Refinery , established in 1891 at the foot of Aspen Street on the waterfront. Revival of the sugar industry in Baltimore occurred in 1921 when the American Sugar Refining Company built a massive plant in the Locust Point area of the cit y. This p lant, commonly known as "Domino Sugar," took over t wo years to build, contains 15 buildings and co­ r vers over 20 acres--with over one quarter waterfront.

  • ? a History of Sugar Marketing Through 1974
    s- > ? A HISTORY OF SUGAR MARKETING THROUGH 1974 U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE / ECONOMICS, STATISTICS, AND COOPERATIVES SERVICE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIC REPORT NO. 382 ABSTRACT The quota system of regulating the production, importation, and marketing of sugar in the United States through 1974 was an outgrowth of Government regulation of the sugar trade dating from colonial times. Similar systems have developed in most other countries, particu- larly those which import sugar. The U.S. Sugar Quota System benefited domestic sugar pro- ducers by providing stable prices at favorable levels. These prices also encouraged the produc- tion and use of substitute sweeteners, particularly high fructose and glucose sirup and crystalline dextrose in various industries. But sugar is still the most widely used sweetener in the United States, although its dominant position is being increasingly threatened. KEYWORDS: Sugar, quota, preference, tariff, refined, raw, sweeteners, corn sweeteners. world trade. PREFACE This report was written in 1975 by Roy A. Ballinger, formerly an agricultural economist in the Economic Research Service. It supersedes A History of Sugar Marketing, AER-197, also by Ballinger, issued in February 1971 and now out of print. On January 1, 1978, three USDA agencies—the Economic Research Service, the Statistical Reporting Service, and the Farmer Cooperative Service—merged into a new organization, the Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service.

  • 07DCP094K: Domino Sugar Project – TM 0051
    TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM CEQR Number 07DCP094K: Domino Sugar Project – TM 0051 May 13, 2020 I. INTRODUCTION The Applicant (Domino Site A and Domino Site B LLC) is seeking a minor modification of the CPC approved plans for the Domino Sugar Large-Scale General Development (C 140132 ZSK), to facilitate the construction of a fourteen-story glass barrel-vaulted building, with a mechanical penthouse, within, and set back from, the historic facades of the former Domino factory (“Modified Refinery Building”). On October 16, 2019, the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) approved the design of the Modified Refinery Building when it issued Certificate of Appropriateness COFA-20-02358. The purpose of this Technical Memorandum is to determine whether the proposed change to the massing of the Refinery Building would result in any significant adverse environmental impacts that were not previously identified in the May 2010 Domino Sugar Rezoning Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and subsequent Technical Memoranda dated June 4th, 2010, July 10th, 2010, October 31, 2013, and March 5, 2014 (CEQR No. 07DCP094K). As discussed below, this technical memorandum concludes that there would be no additional significant adverse impacts in any of the analyzed CEQR technical areas as a result of the proposed modification. II. BACKGROUND The Domino Sugar project originally proposed in 2010 (the “2010 Project”) was intended to revitalize and reactivate a vacant waterfront industrial site (see Figure 1 for site location) with publicly accessible open space, a restored and adaptively reused historic building, and new residential buildings. As part of the 2010 Project, the landmarked building along the waterfront known as the Refinery Building was to be adaptively reused.
