Form Outline

The TREC 28-2 form is organized into the following sections:

  1. Header and Property Identification
    Identifies the form as the TREC Environmental Assessment, Threatened or Endangered Species, and Wetlands Addendum and links it to the main contract via the property address.
  2. Environmental Assessment
    Gives the buyer the option to hire an environmental specialist to conduct an environmental assessment of the property. The assessment is entirely at the buyer's cost.
