FAQs about SSp1 :

Am I exempt from this prerequisite if I have a zero-lot-line building? What if the site work is minimal due to the scope? What about a renovation? What if the excavation and foundation work is minimal due to the construction materials I am using?

What are BMPs for steep slopes?

I have a technical question about a specific control measure and whether LEED requires it. What guidance is available?

Is there a preferred method for documentation?

What suffices as far as a date-stamped photo?

Can I still earn the prerequisite if the project started considering LEED after work began?

NC-2009 SSp1:Construction Activity Pollution Prevention

Air with dust particulate matter

If my site provide the truck wheel washing and inspection plan for this activity, will it be qualify as a measure for reducing Air with dust particulate matter? I just got the comment to provide the clear evidence of prevention of polluting the air with dust and particulate matter. Will this truck wheel wasing comply with this comment? thanks

Wheel washing does not control dust erosion. You need to come up with a watering shcedule, use tarps over stockpile areas to prevent wind uptake, etc.

So, if i have the watering schedule around the site area twice a day, will this be qualified without tarps (too expensive)?

I am not familiar with your climate, as this will dictate the watering schedule. I would go with some form of language on the plan that states access to/from the site will be through the construction entrance, and the site will be kept free from dust by the use of on-site watering trucks on an as needed basis, or as required by the local conservation district (or similar agency in your jurisdiction).
