Jesse:

I reviewed your PDF diagram and StormNET model file. The model appears to be handling the setup as you described.

The only concern I have about your model is that you are using the Rational Method for your runoff computations, and this method is really inadequate to check the detention pond size since it does not include the storm duration in its computations. I recommend either switching to the Modified Rational Method or one of the other event-based hydrology methods (i.e., TR-55, TR-20, EPA SWMM, HEC-1, etc.).
