Analysis

The Kentucky Blue Ridge Landfill is a long-running CAR methane capture project with solid additionality (combined test, VVB-verified, not legally required) and a measured project-specific baseline. However, the verification report surfaces an extensive list of material findings—including ongoing Clean Water Act violations since 2017, a flow meter over-reporting of 11.73%, and multiple calibration/documentation variances—that raise concerns about operational rigor. A roughly 13% discrepancy between the claimed/verified ERR figures (41.706 vs. 47,270/47,318, likely a unit or calculation difference) and the absence of quantified leakage, FNRB, and usage-rate data limit confidence in the credit volume.
