What does Waxen Flame LLC not do?

We do not:

  • Provide legal, scientific, or technical permitting services.
    We are not permitting agents, environmental consultants, or regulatory scientists, and do not file permits or conduct original scientific analysis.

  • Make regulatory determinations or guarantee compliance.
    Our role is to gather and summarize information from public sources and experts, not to issue legal or technical opinions.

  • Implement on-the-ground project activities.
    We do not conduct fieldwork, site assessments, or direct project implementation.

  • Make funding decisions or guarantee grant awards.
    We provide research, strategy, and application support, but final funding outcomes depend on the funder’s review process.

How do you support compliance and permitting?

We help you understand what permits or regulations (like CEQA/NEPA) may apply to your project by researching requirements and summarizing next steps.

We connect you to qualified experts or agencies for technical questions and do not provide direct permitting or scientific services ourselves.

Can you help with project implementation or scientific studies?

We focus on planning, research, narrative, compliance and implementation guidance/support.

For fieldwork, scientific analysis, or technical permitting, we refer you to trusted partners and experts.
