This may include the use of hay bales, silt fences, anti-track pads and inlet protection."

No tengo la menor idea de qué puede ser una "anti-track pad", aunque se puede ver su función por el contexto.

Muchas gracias por la ayuda, colegas

Explanation:

Vehicles leaving construction sites track sediment onto adjoining roadways. This sediment can create safety hazards and contribute significantly to sediment pollution in waterways. The purpose of a vehicle tracking BMP is to prevent soil and mud on work vehicles from being carried offsite and deposited on public roads, parking lots, and other areas. Temporary site entrances/exits are used during the construction period, prior to the time when roadways, parking lots, and other areas are either paved or stabilized. Vehicle tracking BMPs limit the amount of sediment and other pollutants leaving the construction site and reduces discharge of sediment and pollutants to surface waters. Pollutant removal is primarily accomplished through the removal of soil and mud from construction equipment, including nutrients and heavy metals that are associated with sediment...

  -> Muchas gracias, Christian! La verdad me “inspiré” en una fotografía del “anti-track pad” que encontré en internet. Se veía como una rejilla de un material resistente negro, parecido al plástico.
