Guam - It appears alleged Yigo dump owner Tomas Taitano is cleaning up his act. According to Guam Environmental Protection Agency spokesperson Tammy Jo Anderson Taft, inspectors visited the Yigo property recently to find a fence erected.

"We're pleased to see they've been working at restricting access to the area. The reason we're pleased to see that is because the notice of violation does require the individual to stop any and all illegal dumping activities, and by restricting access to the property you are therefore not allowing people to come in and dump," she said.

Inspectors discovered different trash items burning on Taitano's property off the Back Road to Andersen ir Force Base late-July, which was followed by GEPA's issue of a notice of violation and an administrative penalty order of $1,000.
