The Big Tujunga Mitigation Area is owned and managed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) to offset impacts to habitats and vegetation communities at other LACDPW-owned facilities. Chambers Group has had a long history with this project, preparing the original Master Mitigation Plan for the Mitigation Bank in 1999 and then implemented these services through 2006.

Years later in 2017, Chambers Group had the opportunity to return and be part of the project team again where they implemented the Master Mitigation Plan (MMP) Programs at the Big Tujunga Wash Mitigation Area (Mitigation Area) near the community of Sunland, Los Angeles County.
