Dirt Track-Out Prevention Services
Track-out is a surface-level problem with regulatory depth. The dirt on the road washes into storm drains during the next rain event, carrying sediment and construction pollutants into the MS4 system and eventually into local waterways. That chain of events is exactly what SWPPP requirements and NPDES permits are designed to prevent, and unmanaged track-out is one of the most common triggers for corrective action during construction site inspections.
What Track-Out Prevention and Entrance Sweeping Includes
- Entrance and exit sweeping to remove material before and after it reaches the public road
- Track-out pad and stabilized construction entrance cleanup
- Haul route sweeping where trucks have deposited material along the road
- Perimeter road sweeping to catch material that migrates from the site boundary
- Water support when wetting the entrance area helps reduce material pickup
- Emergency response for track-out incidents that have already reached public streets
Why Track-Out Prevention Matters for SWPPP Compliance
Cleaner public roads that reduce safety hazards and neighbor complaints. Reduced risk of corrective action during stormwater and building inspections. Improved site appearance that reflects well on the general contractor. Support for the site's SWPPP by reducing sediment discharge into storm drain systems. And documentation (route logs) showing that sweeping was performed, which supports compliance records and response to inspector inquiries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Track-out is dirt, mud, sediment, or aggregate that construction vehicles carry from a jobsite onto public streets through the site entrance and exit points. It is one of the most common stormwater complaints on active construction projects.
Yes. Keeping public streets and site perimeters clean reduces the risk of corrective action during inspections. Route logs documenting when and where sweeping occurred support compliance records.
Emergency and same-day track-out cleanup is available depending on crew availability and site conditions. Track-out on public roads is one of the most common emergency service requests. Call (206) 960-3454 for availability.
Frequency depends on truck traffic volume, weather conditions, and site layout. High-traffic sites with unpaved entrances may need daily sweeping. Sites with stabilized construction entrances may need less frequent service.
