We are implementing several things in a project to comply with this prerrequisite, regarding the cleaning of the vehicle's tires leaving the site we are washing them and then the vehicles go on a bed of rock before they leave the site. However some dirt is still stick to the tires leaving the streets a little bit dirty. We have some workers wipping the dirt but still there are traces of it on the road.
How "clean" does the street need to be in order to comply with this part of the plan?

We have used tire cleaning station in our projects, which was sufficient for the reviewers. I think you will have to do your best to prevent erosion and dirt traveling from your site, but of course you can't entirely prevent it from happening. I have 4 projects just recently certified or finished preliminary review incl. this prerequisite. Al of these projects used tire wash station, which still left some dirt traveling into the street. The streets were regularly cleaned by the contractor. This was approved, so I think yours will be too.
Good luck
