476,541,680 gallons of raw sewage leaked directly to the Pearl River from one location at 408 Jefferson St, Jackson during the heavy rain and flood events of the first 3 months of 2020. The largest single-day discharge occurred on January 11 when 6,831,520 gallons of raw sewage flowed from the Jefferson St manhole to the Pearl and then downriver. This is enough raw sewage released in ONE DAY to fill 10 Olympic swimming pools.

The Pearl River is not my favorite southern river but it is now a solid #2.

That's only 11.34M barrels though.

That much flow will certainly make that Jefferson man's hole sore!

They've been under consent decree from the EPA for years to make improvements to their sewer system but apparently don't have the money to do it. IIRC the treatment plant is woefully undersized and needs to be replaced.

We should just napalm Jackson and start over.
Rename it Jaxyn and build the biggest little league ballpark in the country.

How does one do remediation on this? Is there even a way to clean it up?

Nature.
In the OP it they said the overflow came during rainfall. You can assume that it was extremely diluted. The sewerage will naturally degrade and if the biological and chemical oxygen demands are sufficiently low enough it won't have an impact on biological systems in the river.
The thing that is a concern is if commercial or industrial outlets are discharging toxic chemicals(like heavy metals and organic chemicals into the sewer system that the wastewater treatment plant allows them to discharge into the system. Municipalities usually permit these commercial and industrial facilities and if they cannot meet the permit requirements they have to treat their own waste.
But just normal sewerage will simply biodegrade. You just have to hope that it is not concentrated enough to cause a fish kill through eutrophication.
With that said Jackson needs to get their shite fixed.

At least someone is finally cleaning up Jxn.
