Another Bettendorf developer has been fined for repeatedly failing to halt erosion of soil from a residential development into a nearby creek.
Robert Fick, vice president of Mel Foster Properties and developer of the Century Heights Phase III subdivision, agreed to a $5,000 fine under a consent agreement with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).
The case dates back to two storm water runoff violations near Hess Court and Criswell Street that occurred Dec. 28, 2021 and June 23, 2022.
The order was filed November 16, nearly two years after the initial violation and nearly a year and a half after the second notice of violation was sent the developer.
