About this file
This is a Receiving/Offloading Authorization Form used by the City of Palo Alto's Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) for the delivery and receipt of 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite. The form serves as a safety and compliance checklist that must be completed and signed by both a qualified City of Palo Alto employee and the sodium hypochlorite delivery driver prior to unloading chemical shipments. The RWQCP operates two separate delivery locations: the DMF location with one 6,000-gallon tank and the Chlorine building location with two 6,000-gallon tanks. The City estimates annual sodium hypochlorite consumption at approximately 130,000 gallons, with higher usage during wet-weather periods. Suppliers are required to split deliveries between the two locations and budget additional time for on-site delivery into their pricing. The form requires verification that deliveries will maintain a 10% tank volume safety margin with a maximum tank capacity of 5,000 gallons per tank.
The Authorization Form establishes mandatory safety protocols before, during, and after off-loading operations, including placement of barricades, provision of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for both delivery personnel and RWQCP staff, verification of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and inspection of connections for leaks. DOT regulations require an attendant to remain within 25 feet during unloading. The form requires documentation of bill of lading, weight certificates, and certificates of analysis to accompany each delivery. Failure to follow prescribed safety precautions may result in disciplinary action up to termination of employment or suspension of the supplier's business relationship with the City. Authorization to proceed cannot be granted if any required safety question is answered "No" unless alternative safeguards are documented in writing by the supervising official.
