California leads the nation in its demand for a high standard of living coupled with the desire for an environment with clean air and water, and the conservation of natural resources. The conflicts that arise from the increasing demands on land use have created complex regulations, policies and procedures that vary among the agencies responsible for managing lands and resources.

Lilburn Corporation was formed based on our early recognition that the changing regulatory climate would dramatically affect agencies and businesses engaged in land development. The process of carrying a project from initial concept to construction now commonly requires a level of analysis for the permitting effort that is comparable to the design engineering effort. Lilburn Corporation has responded, and acquired a reputation for success, by using our experience and innovation, and a pragmatic approach to resolving land use and environmental issues.

Our planning, permitting, and environmental services are designed to preserve environmental quality, while assisting both agencies and businesses in expediting the approval process. Lilburn Corporation's experience and regulatory knowledge benefit environmental and land use development needs.  Our firm was founded in1989 and principal staff, each have over 25 years of experience in development project permitting and regulatory compliance.

Lilburn Corporation is a California-based company comprised primarily of senior professionals and technical specialists that represent the full complement of environmental, planning, natural resource, and physical science disciplines. The firm provides services to the mining industry, other private land developers, and public agencies. Our expertise in mine permitting is unsurpassed in California.  President, Stephen T. Lilburn is an experienced expert witness.

The capabilities of our company have been strategically developed to provide the full array of services necessary to carry a project from its initial conception, through to the acquisition of all permits needed to construct and operate. Further, we develop programs and provide operations monitoring to assist in maintaining compliance with the project’s conditions of approval and new regulations.
