Land use surrounding the area is predominantly residential.
A residential community of fifty homes is located one-half mile to the southeast. An estimated 11,000 people rely on private or public water supplies for drinking water. Surface water bodies include Leggett's Creek and Bell Mountain Creek. From 1947 to 1982, the Aladdin Electroplating Company was involved in chromium electroplating and decorative electroplating. Liquid wastes generated from these processes were deposited into two on-site unlined surface impoundments via an open drainage ditch.
