A greenhouse gas emissions life cycle analysis(LCA)was completed for 22years of carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR)operations at the Niagaran reef complex in the northern Michigan Basin based on research by the Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP). The objective of the greenhouse gas LCA was to account for the total greenhouse gas emissions generated through the CO2-EOR process..

This report summarizes the process and work completed to develop and successfully submit an MRV plan to EPA. This work used the lessons learned from various MRCSP tasks to demonstrate the geologic understanding of the Niagaran reefs, successful monitoring and accounting methodologies, understanding of potential risks and leakage pathways, and mass balance of CO2 baseline and net storage. The plan currently encompasses 10 reefs and also provides a reporting plan for future reef development.

The Special Nutrition Program Operations Study is a multiyear study designed to provide the Food and Nutrition Service with a snapshot of current State and School Food Authority policies and practices, including information on school meal standards, competitive foods standards, professional standards, school lunch pricing and accounting, and standards for school wellness policies. The information in this first year study (School Year 2011-12) will provide a baseline for observing the improvements resulting from the implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
