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).
