Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Van Drew described the federal navigation study as a future objective while announcing emergency dredging coordination. The release documents related dredging work, but identifies no formal study request, authorization, funding, or study underway. Searches through October 17 found no subsequent official confirmation of those study milestones.
