RIM easements are perpetual contracts that remain with the title of the land and all future owners are bound to its terms. The Landowner retains title to property and all associated rights and obligations of ownership aside from those that are restricted and transferred to the State in the easement. RIM enrollment is a competitive process and is announced periodically for specific practices:
