About this file
This is a Receiving/Off-Loading Authorization Form for the City of Palo Alto's Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) used for bulk 12.5% sodium hypochlorite deliveries. The form establishes mandatory safety and compliance procedures required before, during, and after the off-loading of sodium hypochlorite at two separate RWQCP locations: the DMF location with one 6,000-gallon tank and the Chlorine Building location with two 6,000-gallon tanks. The form must be completed in full by both a qualified City of Palo Alto employee and the delivery driver prior to unloading. Pre-off-loading procedures include verifying barricades are placed around the receiving area, confirming the driver and WQCP personnel are familiarized with emergency shutoff procedures and safety equipment locations, validating that the correct chemical and concentration is being received, ensuring all personnel don appropriate personal protective equipment, and confirming receiving tanks can accommodate the delivery volume while maintaining required 10% safety margins with maximum tank volumes of 5,000 gallons. During off-loading, an attendant must remain within 25 feet of all connections per DOT regulations, vigilantly monitor for leaks, and halt unloading between full and spill tank markers. Post-off-loading procedures require inspection for spills, securing the receiving port with proper lockout/tagout devices, and returning all safety equipment to locked storage.
The form emphasizes that authorization to proceed is not possible if any checklist item is answered as "no," unless the Supervisor in charge documents in writing that alternative safeguards are in place. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be available prior to unloading, and failure to follow the prescribed precautions may result in disciplinary action up to termination and/or suspension of the supplier's business relationship with the City. The form requires copies of the weight scale certificate, signed bill of lading, and certificate of analysis to be distributed to the WQCP A/P Admin Associate II and Operations departments, with originals retained as part of the receiving documentation. The form reflects the City's commitment to comprehensive chemical handling safety protocols and regulatory compliance, including adherence to DOT regulations and Chlorine Institute standards as specified in the related RFQ 197475.
