• MAKC’S management plans for all preserves require a preliminary report within 30 days of the conclusion of the field work. • If your study continues longer than 365 days, you must submit an extension on this same form, citing your initial proposal & date of submission. Caves weren’t formed overnight, and we understand that your study may continue over a period of years. However, MAKC requires a progress report and update on your study annually. • Copies of your study should be mailed to MAKC at 137 E. Campbell St., Blairsville, PA 15717 for inclusion in our library and for our records. • Your study’s progress reports and results, written for a general audience, should be submitted for publication in MAKC’s Karst Chronicle. • Within two years after completion of your study, MAKC requests a summary of publications in which your study appeared and a copy of that publication for our library. • MAKC requests specific cave locations and directions be omitted from publications and suggests references be limited to township, borough or other municipality, county and state. If there is a reason for publishing the specific location, please list it below.
