Cropland is located at lower elevations. It consists of an

2.2.3 Residential Land
The residential land consists of the Riverbend Subdivision,
the Barton Porter Ranch and the Duncan Ranch. Because mining is
not planned in these residential land areas and because the
residential lands are located outside the area of influence of
mining-related surface subsidence effects, these residential lands
are not discussed in any further detail.
2.2.4 Wildlife Habitat
The majority of the surface land within and adjacent to the
