Additional services included administrative facilities, a medical diagnosis and treatment area, inmate rehabilitation programs, and a courtroom. This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) provides information about the environmental impacts that could be associated with construction and operation of a new Skagit County (County) Jail facility in Mount Vernon, Washington. The Final EIS includes responses to comments received during the Draft EIS comment period and additions, corrections, and clarifications to the Draft EIS. An EIS describes the existing environment that could be affected by a proposed action, analyzes probable adverse environmental impacts, and discusses reasonable mitigation measures for adverse impacts.
