Rock Creek,
My experience is that the draw down will not start a true siphon unless the vent pipe is the high enough to let out all the air.
The siphon will stop at this point as the water comes down.
The 10" pipe will continue to flow a lot of water without any siphon effect.
The next big rain will retest my system. It hasn't ran any water since repairing it.


Make it look easy,
