Legal Question in Environmental Law in Georgia

Stormwater

My neighbor's residential lot had flooding issues. He has brought in several feet of soil to remedy his problem. His problem has now become my problem. His lot is now dry and mine holds water up to 1ft deep around the perimeter of my yard when it rains. I have complained to the HOA, city planner and city engineer. My neighbor did not get permission from the HOA nor any permits. Shouldn't he have to plan for drainage when changing the topography? Rincon, GA
