Some color on Land and Resource Management Easements is below.  Just looks like a quarter where no/few new pipeline contracts were inked.

QUARTER Easements and sundry income. Easements and sundry income was $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of 32.9% compared to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Easements and sundry income includes pipeline easement income, seismic and temporary permit income, lease rental income and income from material sales. The decrease in easements and sundry income is principally related to the decrease in pipeline easement income which decreased 42.5% to $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. Easements and sundry income is unpredictable and may vary significantly from period to period. Effective January 1, 2018, the Trust adopted the new revenue recognition accounting standard using the full retrospective method, and no longer defers revenue on its term easements.
