2. Overview of application:  2.1 LAWMA:  LAWMA is a non-profit corporation organized for the purposes of replacing depletions caused by the pumping of its members' wells, as required by law, and providing water to its members directly or by means of augmentation and replacement for all manner and types of uses.  2.2 Complete and superseding amendment:  LAWMA filed the original application in this matter on June 3, 2019 (“original application”), and filed the first amended application on September 26, 2019. This Second Amended Application (“Application”) is a complete and superseding statement of LAWMA’s claims herein.  2.3 FLCC Shares:  LAWMA owns 7,487 shares of stock in the Fort Lyon Canal Company (“FLCC”), having acquired those shares from Arkansas River Farms, LLC (“ARF”), in 2017 and 2021.  The subject 7,487 shares are referred to collectively in this Application as the “FLCC Shares.”  In 2018, the City of Colorado Springs, acting through its enterprise, Colorado Springs Utilities (“Springs Utilities”), acquired 2,500 shares of LAWMA common stock from ARF (“Springs Utilities LAWMA Shares”), and LAWMA and Springs Utilities entered into a Water Sharing Agreement under which, as part of an alternative transfer method (“ATM”), LAWMA will use water available to 3,303 of the FLCC Shares (“ATM Shares”) to make an allocation to the Springs Utilities LAWMA Shares that will be shared by LAWMA and Springs Utilities consistent with the Water Sharing Agreement.  The ATM Shares are a subset of the FLCC Shares.  2.4 Purposes of Application:  By this Application, LAWMA seeks the following:  (i) changes in the decreed type, manner, and place of use of the water rights associated with the FLCC Shares so that water available to those water rights may be used for augmentation and replacement purposes within LAWMA’s various augmentation and replacement plans, with such use made directly, after storage, by exchange, and following recharge, and with one or more approved substitution(s) of dry-up and an approved process for the Court to approve future substitutions of dry-up following entry of the decree (“Comprehensive Change”); (ii) addition of the water rights changed by the Comprehensive Change to LAWMA’s plan for augmentation decreed on March 8, 2007, in Division 2 Case No. 02CW181 (“02CW181 Decree”) as a permanent source of augmentation and replacement supply; (iii) changes in the decreed type, manner, and place of use of the water rights associated with the ATM Shares, so that in addition to the changed uses under the Comprehensive Change, water available to those water rights may be used directly, by exchange, and after storage for all beneficial uses within Springs Utilities’ existing and future service area (“ATM-Limited Change”); and (iv) confirmation of appropriative rights of exchange, with consumptive use credit available to the FLCC Shares as the source of substitute supply.  In years that Springs Utilities takes delivery of water available under the Springs Utilities LAWMA Shares, Springs Utilities will seek to exchange the fully consumable water upstream into Springs Utilities’ municipal system or directly deliver the fully consumable water into Springs Utilities’ municipal system, including without limitation into the storage components of that system.  3. Water rights to be changed:  The water rights associated with the FLCC Shares are a pro-rata portion of those water rights owned or controlled by FLCC, including without limitation the water rights described in paragraphs 3.1 through 3.6 below (“FLCC Water Rights”). Under the Comprehensive Change, LAWMA seeks to change the water rights associated with the 7,487 FLCC Shares, which amount to 7.97% of the 93,989.4166 shares outstanding of the capital stock of the FLCC.  Under the ATM-Limited Change, LAWMA seeks an additional change in the water rights associated with the 3,303 ATM Shares, which amount to 3.51% of the outstanding capital stock of the FLCC.  The 3.51% interest represented by the ATM Shares is included within and is not in addition to the 7.97% interest represented by the FLCC Shares.  Ownership of the FLCC Shares is evidenced by the FLCC certificates identified on Exhibit A attached to the application, (All exhibits mentioned herein are incorporated by reference and may be inspected at the office of the clerk of this Court.) which certificates represent LAWMA’s pro-rata interest in the FLCC Water Rights and in the ditches, canals, other facilities for the delivery and use of water, and all other assets of the FLCC.  Springs Utilities does not own any of the FLCC Shares that are the subject of this Application.  The decreed locations of the structures associated with the FLCC Water Rights are described in paragraph 4 below and shown on Exhibits B-1, B-2 and B-3.  In accordance with C.R.S. § 37‑92‑302(2)(a), Exhibits B-1 and B-2 show the approximate locations of the lands historically irrigated with the FLCC Shares (“Historically Irrigated Lands”); and Exhibits C-1 through C-10 summarize records of actual diversions of each water right described in paragraphs 3.1 through 3.6 below, to the extent such records exist, and records of actual reservoir releases to the Fort Lyon Canal from Horse Creek Reservoir, Adobe Creek Reservoir, Queens Reservoir, and Thurston Reservoir for irrigation.  For all water rights described in paragraphs 3.1 through 3.6 below, the pro-rata interest represented by the ATM Shares is part of and not in addition to the pro-rata interest represented by the FLCC Shares.  3.1          Direct-flow water rights:  The direct-flow water rights decreed to the Fort Lyon Canal in the Adjudication of Priorities of Right to the Use of Water for Irrigation in Water District Number 17, dated April 8, 1905, in the District Court for Bent County (“District 17 General Adjudication”) and the pro-rata interest in those water rights being changed in this case are summarized in paragraphs 3.1.1 through 3.1.3 below.  3.1.1 164.64 cubic feet per second (“cfs”) from the Arkansas River with an appropriation date of April 15, 1884.  Pro-rata interest being changed in this case: 13.11 cfs (FLCC Shares); 5.78 cfs (ATM Shares).  3.1.2 597.16 cfs from the Arkansas River with an appropriation date of March 1, 1887.  Pro-rata interest being changed in this case:  47.57 cfs (FLCC Shares); 20.99 cfs (ATM Shares).  3.1.3 171.20 cfs from the Arkansas River with an appropriation date of August 31, 1893.  Pro-rata interest being changed in this case:  13.64 cfs (FLCC Shares); 6.01 cfs (ATM Shares).  3.2 Horse Creek Reservoir and Adobe Creek Reservoir:  Storage water rights were decreed to Horse Creek Reservoir and Adobe Creek Reservoir by the decree entered by the Bent County District Court in the Adjudication of Priorities of Right to the Use of Water for Domestic and Irrigation Purposes in Water District Number 17, Colorado, on February 3, 1927, as modified on November 8, 1928, and allow FLCC to divert from the Arkansas River (via the Fort Lyon Storage Canal) and Horse Creek (via the Horse Creek Feeder Ditch or Supply Canal) for storage in Horse Creek Reservoir, and to divert from the Arkansas River (via the Fort Lyon Storage Canal) and Adobe Creek (via the Adobe Creek Feeder Ditch or Supply Canal) for storage in Adobe Creek Reservoir.  The Horse Creek Reservoir and Adobe Creek Reservoir water rights and the pro-rata interest being changed in this case are summarized in Table 1 below.  Table 1 Storage Rights – Horse Creek Reservoir and Adobe Creek Reservoir

3.3 Thurston Reservoir, a/k/a Thurston Lake:  The storage water right decreed to Prince Reservoir in the District 17 Original Adjudication, with an appropriation date of August 12, 1889, was conditionally transferred to Thurston Reservoir by the decree entered on November 20, 1972, in Division 2 Case No. W‑27 (“W‑27 Decree”) and made absolute by the decree entered on January 11, 1980, in Division 2 Case No. 79CW085.  This water right is decreed for diversion from the Arkansas River via the Fort Lyon Canal at a rate of 355.2 cfs, for storage of up to 1,515 af.  Pro-rata interest being changed in this case:  28.31 cfs and 120.75 af (FLCC Shares); 12.47 cfs and 53.18 af (ATM Shares).  3.4 Thurston Pipeline:  A direct-flow water right was conditionally decreed to the Thurston Pipeline by the W-27 Decree, made partially absolute by the decree entered on March 4, 1986, in Case No. 83CW119, and made fully absolute by the decree entered on November 15, 2011, in Case No. 10CW069, all in Water Division No. 2.  Thurston Pipeline is decreed for diversion of 25 cfs from Thurston Reservoir into the Fort Lyon Canal, with an appropriation date of July 15, 1969.  The source of water is Thurston Lake, a/k/a Thurston Reservoir, with such water accumulated from springs in said lake, seepage flowing into the lake from all sides thereof, waste water from a canal of the FLCC, rainfall, and waste water flowing in the lake from land of owners adjoining the lake; said water is not tributary to any natural stream of the State of Colorado.  Pro-rata interest being changed in this case:  1.99 cfs (FLCC Shares); 0.88 cfs (ATM Shares).  3.5 Subsequent decrees:  The water rights described in paragraphs 3.1 through 3.4 above are the subject of the following subsequent decrees of this Court:  Table 2 Subsequent Decrees Affecting FLCC Water Rights

3.6  Additional water rights:  In addition to its direct-flow and storage water rights described in paragraphs 3.1 through 3.5 above, FLCC owns, controls, and/or operates the water rights and water supply agreements summarized in Table 3 below.  LAWMA does not seek to change the water rights associated with water that FLCC purchases on the spot market or obtains under the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project; however, LAWMA will use its pro-rata share of such water for all lawful purposes.  Table 3 FLCC - Other Water Rights and Water Supply Agreements

Detailed Description of ATM-Limited Change:  6.1 ATM-Limited Change in type of use:  LAWMA seeks to change the water rights associated with the ATM Shares such that they may be used, reused, successively used, and used to extinction by Springs Utilities directly, after storage, and/or by exchange, using any structure now existing or hereafter constructed that is lawfully available for use by Springs Utilities, for all beneficial uses, including without limitation municipal, industrial, domestic, agricultural, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, fire protection, recreation, in-reservoir fish and wildlife preservation and propagation, recharge of aquifers, exchange purposes, replacement of historical return flows, replacement of depletions resulting from the use of water from other sources, relinquishment pursuant to § 37-90-137(9)(b), C.R.S., and all augmentation purposes (“Springs Utilities’ New Uses”).  Springs Utilities’ New Uses under the ATM-Limited Change are in addition to and not in place of the New Uses under the Comprehensive Change.  Springs Utilities may store water attributable to the ATM Shares in or exchange such water to the structures identified in Exhibit E, and any other point of storage or diversion now existing or hereafter constructed and available for use by Springs Utilities.  Any such exchange will be made under the decrees entered in Division 2 Case Nos. 05CW96, 07CW122, 16CW3056, 19CW3052, and 19CW3053, and the decree pending in Division 2 Case No. 21CW3015, or under future administratively or judicially approved plans for substitution and exchange.  The ATM Shares also will be used as “Temporary Use Agreement Water” under any future decree that authorizes the use of such water, in compliance with the applicable terms and conditions of such decree.  6.2 ATM-Limited Change in place of use:  LAWMA seeks to change the water rights associated with the ATM Shares such that they may be used for Springs Utilities’ New Uses within Springs Utilities’ service area as it exists now and as it may exist in the future, including any areas served by Springs Utilities by extraterritorial agreement or other contract; for replacement of depletions on Fountain Creek accruing between the City of Colorado Springs and the confluence of Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River; and in any location within the Arkansas River Basin for which water may be delivered by Springs Utilities for augmentation, sale, or lease, and for such other uses as may be allowed by law.  Springs Utilities’ current service area is located as shown on Exhibit F.  The new place of use under the ATM-Limited Change is in addition to and not in place of the new places of use under the Comprehensive Change, as described in paragraph 5.2 above.  7. Replacement of historical return flows:  LAWMA will replace to the Arkansas River system, in the amounts, times, and locations necessary to prevent injury to Colorado water rights and violation of the Arkansas River Compact, the historical return flows associated with the FLCC Shares.  LAWMA will replace the historical return flows with water available to the FLCC Shares or with the following fully consumable water supplies:  7.1 Springs Utilities supplies:  7.1.1 Supplies owned or controlled by Springs Utilities and released from Lake Meredith.  7.1.2 Supplies owned or controlled by Springs Utilities and delivered in the Arkansas River.  7.2 17CW3068 consumptive use credit:  Historical consumptive use credit attributable to LAWMA’s Fort Bent Ditch water rights changed in Case No. 17CW3068, with such use made both directly and after storage in the West Farm Gravel Pit.  7.3 15CW3067 consumptive use credit:  Historical consumptive use credit attributable to LAWMA’s Lamar Canal water rights (both Lamar Canal Company and Granada Irrigation Company interests) changed in Case No. 15CW3067, with such use made both directly and after storage in the West Farm Gravel Pit.  7.4 West Farm Gravel Pit:  Supplies owned or controlled by LAWMA and released from the West Farm Gravel Pit.  7.5 Future-added supplies:  LAWMA may add new return flow replacement supplies to its operations hereunder by filing a new application in this Court, with notice as required by law, and obtaining a decree authorizing such addition on a permanent basis; or by obtaining an administratively approved substitute water supply plan authorizing such addition on a temporary basis.  8. Substitution of dry-up parcels:  LAWMA seeks a decreed process by which, under the change of water rights claimed herein, LAWMA may petition the Court for approval of dry-up of lands irrigated with the FLCC Water Rights other than the Historically Irrigated Lands shown on Exhibits B-1 and B-2 (“Substitution of Dry-Up”).  The purpose of the Substitution of Dry-Up is to produce more desirable agricultural, environmental, or other conditions under the Fort Lyon Canal without injury to vested water rights or decreed conditional water rights and without loss of yield to the FLCC Shares.  LAWMA seeks to include in the decree in this matter an existing Substitution of Dry-Up that has been operating since 2021 under an approved Substitute Water Supply Plan for the Wertz Farm, and any other Substitution of Dry-Up that may be operated under the Fort Lyon Canal while this application is pending before the Water Court; and further seeks a process by which the Court may approve future Substitutions of Dry-Up post-decree.  9. Appropriative rights of exchange:  9.1 Exchange-from points:  9.1.1 Confluence of Horse Creek and Arkansas River, located in the SE1/4 SW1/4 of Section 2, T23S, R53W of the 6th P.M.
