There are powerful folks who want to clean it up. Capellan is probably the richest person in the Dominican Republic and is good friends with the President. This president cleaned up the Puerto Plata port for cruise ships (30 due this month alone!) I have no doubt there will be much more happening to clean up the area.
If you read the story, the Puerto Plata clean-up effectively moved some of Puerto Plata's problems to Luperon, and now no one seems to know what to do about it. This is a sad story.

Stay tuned. Things will be happening soon. The DR is absolutely anal about all things "tourism".
Ojala, que si!
