James D. Hadley, P.E., M.S.
Jim's over 20-year career broadly spans the safety, health, and environment fields punctuated by a few specialties. He is licensed as a professional engineer in Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin, and he has an NCEES record established, which facilitates quick licensing in many states. He is a member of the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. After earning a Natural Sciences Bachelor of Arts degree from Johns Hopkins University, focused on chemistry and microbiology, and an Environmental Engineering & Science Master of Science degree from Stanford University, Jim did lab- and pilot-scale studies supporting wastewater treatment and site cleanup design at Ciba-Geigy Corporation, a chemical manufacturer. He then provided small business technical assistance, including with the rollout of Clean Air Act paragraph 112(r), prevention of accidental releases, for a local air pollution control agency, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, Nebraska. He later served as the environmental compliance engineer for Photocircuits Corporation's Glen Cove, New York plant, then a 2,300 person printed circuit board manufacturing facility, which handled chlorine-gas ton containers and other hazardous substances. In 2000 he started working for a Wisconsin-based engineering firm, where he did design, construction management, and operations & maintenance consulting on a broad range of safety, health, and environmental projects, including process-safety management for ammonia refrigeration and storage, chlorine, and sulfur dioxide. His clients have included manufacturers (food, oil products, paper), private land developers facing environmental constraints, such as contamination, floodplains, or wetlands, as well as a suburban town facing development pressures. Jim has worked full time with FACT+FANCY since 2011, primarily consulting on process-safety management. Jim also has a background in writing and languages relevant to rule writing, including writing numerous compliance manuals for oil terminals, food-industry plants, and other manufacturing facilities, writing compliance-assistance guides for a local air pollution control agency, reviewing zoning & subdivision ordinances, reviewing municipal land-use plans, and serving on a hazardous-substance rulemaking advisory committee. In addition to English, he has studied the French, Korean, and Spanish languages. His ability to communicate both regulatory and technical information in simple prose has often been appreciated by his clients and employers.

FACT+FANCY relies on a network of engineering, science, and information-technology consultants. We collaborate in particular on rule-writing services and information management. Our ethics web page describes the business practices you can rely on from us. FACT+FANCY is the service mark of Fact Fancy, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Fact Fancy, LLC, holds intellectual property developed by the FACT+FANCY teammates. Fact Fancy, LLC, is registered and/or authorized in Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Elsewhere, FACT+FANCY teammates only offer engineering services as sole practitioners in the states where a teammate is a licensed or registered professional engineer, or, in some locations, in collaboration with other firms.

For some projects, we will evaluate obtaining additional local licenses and authorizations or finding local firms to collaborate with. We offer services that do not require a license or other authorization by the local jurisdiction throughout the United States and elsewhere if requested by US-based clients.
