WEAR TV-3 is reporting a coal barge headed to Gulf Power’s Crist plant on the Escambia River, has run aground near Fort Pickens. The company that was towing the barge called off the recovery effort on Wednesday because of rain, fog, and rough surf. A spokesperson for Gulf Power said they will not be able to use the coal because water got into the barge, so it will go back to Mobile once the barge is freed.
