Pripyat is a ghost town near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, part of Kiev Oblast (province) of northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. Pripyat was founded in 1970 to house workers for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979 but was abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. It was the ninth nuclear city (Russian: ????????? atomograd) in the Soviet Union at the time and its population was around 50,000 before the accident. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.Along with its prime goal as being home to nuclear power plant's employees, Pripyat had been viewed as a major railroad and river cargo port in northern Ukraine. The urban nomenclature was quite typical for the time. There were traditional ideological names on the city map such as Lenin Avenue, International Friendship Street, Heroes of Stalingrad Street, etc.
There also were some street names that had local bearings, e.g. Embankment Street, Builders Avenue, and Enthusiasts Avenue. Lesya Ukrainka Street has cultural implications: it bears the name of one of the greatest poets of Ukraine. The standard Soviet theme was also included in the naming scheme: Igor Kurchatov Street was named after the "Father of the Soviet Atomic Bomb".
Pripyat had a defined city centre where the city hall (or city council), the largest shopping centres, major recreational and public catering facilities and the Polissya hotel were located.
The official evacuation note:
"For the attention of the residents of Pripyat! The City Council informs you that due to the accident at Chernobyl Power Station in the city of Pripyat the radioactive conditions in the vicinity are deteriorating. The Communist Party, its officials and the armed forces are taking necessary steps to combat this. Nevertheless, with the view to keep people as safe and healthy as possible, the children being top priority, we need to temporarily evacuate the citizens in the nearest towns of Kiev Oblast. For these reasons, starting from April 27, 1986 2 p.m. each apartment block will be able to have a bus at its disposal, supervised by the police and the city officials. It is highly advisable to take your documents, some vital personal belongings and a certain amount of food, just in case, with you. The senior executives of public and industrial facilities of the city has decided on the list of employees needed to stay in Pripyat to maintain these facilities in a good working order. All the houses will be guarded by the police during the evacuation period. Comrades, leaving your residences temporarily please make sure you have turned off the lights, electrical equipment and water off and shut the windows. Please keep calm and orderly in the process of this short-term evacuation."

Summer afternoon view of the Owyhee River in the Owyhee River Below the Dam ACEC, July 31, 2018, by Greg Shine, BLM.
A majestic and overlooked area on the primary road to Lake Owyhee State Park, the Lower Owyhee Canyon area includes the Owyhee River Below the Dam Area of Critical Environmental Concern -- 11,239 acres of public land in and around the Owyhee River canyon just north of the Owyhee Dam.
This area features the controlled-flowing Owyhee River with its narrow canyon bottom and picturesque canyon slopes and walls. Paralleling the river, a two-lane asphalt county road bisects the ACEC and leads visitors to popular Lake Owyhee State Park and the 53-mile-long Owyhee Reservoir.
Recreational opportunities abound here, and include high-quality scenery, driving and walking or hiking for pleasure, varied wildlife and historic resource viewing, photography, camping, hunting, fishing, and water play at the developed day-use Snively Hot Springs Recreation Site. The Lower Owyhee Canyon Watchable Wildlife Area provides convenient tables for picnicking and a vault toilet, in addition to opportunities to view animals that frequent the area.
ACECs are parcels of public land that require special management attention to protect special features or values. Home to diverse canyon landscape elements, this ACEC hosts a special status plant species (Mulford’s milkvetch) and a rare black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa) gallery in a riverine system. Diverse habitat types here also support a large number of wildlife species and an important migratory corridor for neotropical birds from Mexico, Central America and South America.
Controlled releases from Owyhee Dam have variable effects on the riparian ecosystem along the river corridor. Based on evaluations of the river corridor, segments of the river within the ACEC, with adjacent BLM-administered land, have been determined eligible and suitable for possible inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River System.
