Based on the track records, Governments are a poor choice to make such decisions. I think the Navaho would say the Government should go to Hell based on recent events on their reservation. A mining company would never have made such a stupid mistake and if they had they could be sued.

But who better than the government to decide on environmental and land use 
issues like this? And if not the government, then who else?

Chopping down an entire mountain has (to say the least) rather far reaching and 
long term consequences. Interested parties go far beyond private land owners; 
society at large has a say in something like this.
