The answer to your question will depend on your experience, your industry and location. An engineer will make more in California than in Alabama.
If you get a job with a state agency, your pay will be lower than industry. If you get a job as a consultant, you may make more than an entry level regulator, but not as much as somebody in industry.
If you get a job with industry, the pay will also depend on the size of the company, your experience (if you are graduating from college - your GPA).
I hate to be so vague, but if you want to find out what the pay range is, I would go to CareerBuilder.com and search environmental engineer positions in your region. Then, read the descriptions and pays for the position you read. You could use that as a general guideline.

Depends on who wins the next Presidential election.
Under Bush, the EPA isn't doing much, so job prospects are slim.
