Kenton County, KY Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

01 (Ord. 06 rather than through a separate sediment-control code. That section lists six grounds on which the Public Works Department may refuse a grading, excavation or landscaping permit, and erosion is the third: permits may not be issued if the work "will adversely affect natural drainage," will "expose unsightly views," or "will create erosion or stability problems," alongside added county maintenance burden. 07 works the same ground from the opposite direction, requiring that grading, excavating or landscaping on the right-of-way affirmatively "improve slope stability problems" or otherwise improve sight distance, drainage or mowing access before a permit can issue at all.

09 requires the permittee to provide adequate signing, traffic control and safety precautions. 14. Because these sections govern grading and excavation within the county road right-of-way specifically, they do not amount to a general land-disturbance or sediment-control ordinance for private construction sites elsewhere in unincorporated Kenton County; no such broader ordinance appears in this code.
