We are working on a project in Costa Rica where the access road is a dirt road. We are using a vehicle tracking control as part of oue ESC plan during the construction process, however all internal streets inside the project will be dirt roads. Were are planning to build open grid pavement streets for the project operation. Do we really need to use a vehicle tracking control wile both roads are dirt roads?

So the access road to the project site is a dirt road, correct? VTOs are used for construction entrances that intersect with a paved roadway to prohibit sediment from being tracking onto the paved roadway. I see no need to provide a VTO (if I understand your project correctly), but just make sure this is spelled out on your E&S Plan and narrative.
This is not to say that you shouldn't employ other appropriate conservation measures, you will probably dealing with a lot of dust. I would have a decent wet-down schedule in place.
