Abstract
A storm water nutrient separating vault has a floatable filter basket therein for collecting debris entering the storm water filter vault which basket rises and falls with the water level in the vault. The floatable filter basket has a pair of swiveling trucks attached thereto. Each truck is supported on a generally vertical track mounted to a wall of the vault on one side of the vault's inlet and has a plurality of rollers riding in the track. The floatable filter basket can therefore swivel or tilt while rising or falling with the water level in the vault to maintain an opening in the nutrient collecting basket in front of the vault's inlet for capturing floating debris in the storm water entering the vault.
