In this episode Inside the Castle spotlights the Denver South Platte Public Private Partnership project (P3). The South Platte River & Tributaries (Adams & Denver Counties), Colorado, Ecosystem Restoration and Flood Risk Management project is the fourth P3 project executed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Public private partnerships (P3s) are a tool that can accelerate delivery by providing significant upfront funding, leveraging appropriations while optimizing local participation, and promoting risk sharing in project delivery. Utilizing P3s can streamline delivery, share risk, and provide significant life-cycle cost savings. Listen in to learn how the Corps is working closely with the City and County of Denver to implement a locally led delivery approach for the entire project. This alternative delivery approach is expected to result in a savings of roughly $121-194 million and is anticipated to be delivered two-five years ahead of a traditionally delivered project.

In 1870 several hundred settlers arrived at a patch of land at the confluence of the South Platte and Cache la Poudre Rivers in Colorado Territory. Their planned agricultural community, which they named Greeley, was centered around small landholdings, shared irrigation, and a variety of market crops. One hundred years later, Greeley was the home of the world's largest concentrated cattle-feeding operation, with the resources of an entire region directed toward manufacturing beef. How did that transformation happen? Cattle Beet Capital: Making Industrial Agriculture in Northern Colorado (U Nebraska Press, 2022) is animated by that question. Expanding outward from Greeley to all of northern Colorado, Cattle Beet Capital shows how the beet sugar industry came to dominate the region in the early twentieth century through a reciprocal relationship with its growers that supported a healthy and sustainable agriculture while simultaneously exploiting tens of thousands of migrant laborers. Michael Weeks shows how the state provided much of the scaffolding for the industry in the form of tariffs and research that synchronized with the agendas of industry and large farmers. The transformations that led to commercial feedlots began during the 1930s as farmers replaced crop rotations and seasonal livestock operations with densely packed cattle pens, mono-cropped corn, and the products pouring out of agro-industrial labs and factories. Using the lens of the northern Colorado region, Cattle Beet Capital illuminates the historical processes that made our modern food systems.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Tuesday August 10th.   Today - Decades of work to clean up the South Platte River have resulted in more opportunities for both wildlife and recreation to thrive.   But last year, the state Water Quality Control Commission rejected a recommendation to upgrade protections. And the commission reaffirmed the decision on Monday. So what's next?   But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we're taking you back to August 10th, 1972, when husband and wife team Christo and Jean-Claude Javacheff unveiled a massive piece of artwork that hung across Rifle Gap in Garfield County. Nearly 100 workers stretched a cable 1,368 feet across the gap and unfurled 200,000 square feet of bright orange nylon curtain while a curved opening allowed for cars to pass below on Highway 325. Even though the artwork was intended to hang until October, high winds started fraying and tearing the fabric within the first two days.   Now, our feature story.   The South Platte River flowing through Denver has long been one of Colorado's most used and abused waterways. Decades of work to clean up the river have finally created more opportunities for wildlife and recreation to thrive there. But last year, the state Water Quality Control Commission rejected a recommendation by its own staff and supporters like the Colorado Parks and Wildlife division to upgrade protections for the river in north Denver and Adams County. Conservationists hoped to change the commission's mind. But the commission reaffirmed the decision on Monday. Colorado Sun health and environment reporter Michael Booth first broke this story and has been following it ever since. He spoke with fellow Sun reporter John Ingold about what the decision means and what comes next.   You can read more from Michael Booth on the future of the South Platte at ColoradoSun.com   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   A Colorado Springs man charged in connection with the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has pleaded guilty. Glenn Wes Lee Croy admitted to a charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing inside the Capitol, according to federal court records. He faces a maximum penalty of six months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000 when he is sentenced on October 15th.   Interstate 70 remains closed through Glenwood Canyon, and now the state is asking for federal assistance to clear the muck clogging the roadway. Gov. Jared Polis asked the Federal Highway Administration for $116 million in emergency relief, with $11.6 million of that to be issued in an expedited manner. Mud and rock slides caused by heavy rains on the Grizzly Creek fire burn scar have inflicted extreme damage to the highway. There is still no estimate for when it will reopen.   The Colorado commissions that are drawing up new boundaries for the state's congressional, state house and state senate districts finally received some welcome news. The U.S. Census Bureau announced that it will release 2020 census data on Thursday. That's four days earlier than Colorado's independent redistricting commissions had expected. The earlier release date will give the commissions precious time in their race to finalize new district maps by October 1st. You can learn more about the commissions' work in The Sun's newest newsletter, called Remapping Colorado.

In June 2002, a wildfire erupted about 100 miles southwest of Denver, Colorado. What became known as the Hayman Fire burned for over a month, resulting in the death of six people. The fire blazed through nearly 140,000 acres—at the time, the largest fire in the state’s recorded history. It also consumed popular climbing areas, including Thunder Ridge. In this episode, journalist Nick Mott explores the impacts of the Hayman Fire, and what the rising rate of megafires might mean for climbing communities across the country.

Is Jon Gray An Ace™ or is he not An Ace™? That is the question on the minds of some corners of Rockies Twitter, and on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast, we attempt to parse what is a complicated and layered discussion by pointing out one overriding thing question hanging over that question itself: what's the point of that conversation? If Jon Gray is An Ace™, then that's great. Everyone wants An Ace™ and would love for Jon Gray to be An Ace™. But if Jon Gray is not An Ace™, as we have been constantly told on Twitter he is not, what's the end game to that conversation? Telling Jon Gray? Applying for a loan at the Federal Ace™ Relief Department? Mining the South Platte for An Ace™?The conversation about Jon Gray needs to go deeper and showcase what's been bad and what hasn't been so bad. We try to shed some light on those things in this week's show.Plus, we all know that Rockies Twitter is not deserving of Connor Farrell (some might call him our own Ace™), but we have him anyway. Connor stops by the show to give his thoughts on Jon Gray, Kyle Freeland, the Rockies' start to 2018, and to tell us about his new podcast, "That Guy Sucks!" which you should search for and subscribe to right now.All that and more on this week's edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast! Mix it up and stain your deck with it!

Waters that fill the South Platte River in Colorado, start high in the Rockies and bring fresh flows that nourish cities and farms on the eastern plains. As creeks and streams pick up volume they're also picking up contaminants along the way. A recent study found a range of pharmaceuticals, from heart medication to birth control chemicals, high up in the watershed. Does that mean humans shouldn't hike in the high country because they might inadvertently affect the water? Absolutely not. There are easy ways to enjoy the outdoors, yet leave no trace behind.

The South Platte River starts high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and flows through the heart of Denver on its way to the Great Plains. The waterway went from being a polluted, noxious cesspool, to some of the most sought-after real estate in the city. For decades, the river was so ignored that many didn’t know—or even care—that the South Platte ran right through downtown. All it took was a flood of biblical proportion to get their attention.

Peter Morse is Australia's Fly-Fishing Superman; as the former host of one of the only primetime fly fishing TV shows to ever run worldwide and an expert on most of the fishing opportunities in the Indo-Pacific, Peter's built up a cache of stories unequalled by any. Don't miss his entertaining and elucidating discussions about the four species of bonefish, the jaw-dropping power of the New Guinea Bass, and the amazing temperate species of the Australian mainland!

Ed Engle is one of Colorado's most famous (and expert) anglers and guides. As a frequent contributor to American Angler magazine and the author of "Splitting Cane," Ed is in a rare position to enjoy unfettered access to some of the most exclusive locations. Nevertheless, he calls the South Platte his home water. Don't miss his comments on dealing with crowds, searching for big trout on little flies, and getting away from it all in the high mountain streams.

Pat Dorsey has guided on the South Platte for more than eleven years. He spends at least 200 days per year on the stream so he knows the water intimately. Join us on this podcast to learn everything you need to know about fly fishing one of the most challenging trout streams in the United States.
