Good
They should remove all rocks.
Rocks don't do anything, they're stupid.
Throw them into the ocean.
Make Wall Marts in their place.
Wall Mart has good deals for the American consumer ......

A word of caution Herr Braun, this could cause the oceans to rise, leading to the flooding of the Wallmarts!
Whether this would be good or bad for Americans is left to the readers.
Rock me on the water, we'll get down to the sea somehow.

get lost philowwww,, you AINT WERNER.... To which I am sure we are both quite pleased.
Thanks Ron I made $50 on your predictability.
Hey TFPTSD go lick a frozen lamp post.
Seriously now folks if this is important to you y'all best be getting up to date on this proposal and working through channels as early as possible. Let me mention that at one point Eldo was up for sale to a gravel company. Think how tragic that would have been?
Stupid Gravel.

If its where I think it is ( just downhill from Joyce's store and the CG), that's a pretty dangerous spot for dump trucks to be entering the flow of traffic.
Edit; from what I've been told, that north side is great for rock hounding. Like huge payout great.

Ain't no thang:
"extract up to 500 tons (~315 cubic yards) of granitic boulders annually, ranging from hand-size to three feet in length (approximately 1-2 pounds up to a ton)."
"Only hand-tools would be utilized to manage the rock. Only solitary rocks or those accessible by hand excavation would be available for collection."
Hell, I might even go out and volunteer... maybe get them to excavate some of the larger boulders and even out the landings a bit. You can't climb on anything <3' anyway.
"Enough rock debris would remain in place to stabilize slopes and deter erosion."
Provisions to ensure the above should be strongly emphasized in any letter. Cloudburst Canyon is a teetering pile of choss and the removal of one single 3' boulder could cause the entire canyon to gully out. No, just joking, but it could cause some serious gullying if the boulders are plucked out of the hillslope. If it creates a head cut it would seriously affect the stability of that loose pile of choss they call a "trail" that leads to OOTD.
