Abstract: A filter for use within a storm drain sump which has a fluid outlet through a wall of the sump, the filter includes a bag-like body member having a cylindrical body portion fabricated from resilient mesh-like synthetic material. A base portion of the filter defines a toroid-shaped section. A weighted material is placed within the toroid-shaped section. Wedge-shaped spacers are axially aligned and secured to an outer face of the cylindrical body portion of the filter. A suspension plate is secured to the body member to support the filter in the storm drain sump.
