Disclaimer: I am not a college planner
There are many excellent universities with highly ranked Environmental Engineering programs in California including - USC, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Berkeley, UC Riverside, UC San Diego and San Diego State to name a few. In Oregon, Oregon State University and Washington, University of Washington. Many of these also have Environmental Sciences programs. The University of Redlands in California has a highly regarded Environmental Studies program that is worth considering. I would also explore if the Claremont Colleges have a program that fits with your interests.
Good luck as you continue your research and decide where to apply to college.

Staying within your home state is going to have some advantages. I got my B.S. Environmental Engineering from University of Central Florida, which has a highly regarded program, and we had a professional relationship with Texas A&M in College Station for air pollution abatement. If you're considering a post-graduate specialization, consider schools with strong programs for your passion with regard to air, water, and earth and clean-up versus abatement technologies ... all are needed. All the best to you for great success no matter which way you go.

I am currently working on my own degree in Energy and Sustainability Policy at Pennsylvania State University through their World Campus (Online). Their College of Earth and Mineral Sciences has a lot of programs that might interest you in this topic. Read through the descriptions to see if any of them strike your fancy! I have loved all of my classes and professors here. Highly recommend!

I would suggest CalPoly San Luis Obispo, CalPoly Humboldt, or UC Davis. All are in California and have well respected programs. I know CalPoly SLO has a five year which is treated like a masters. Also, the towns where they are located are actually very nice depending what you are looking for as a place to live. I have hired and worked with people from all of the above universities and greatly respect their programs.
Thank you so much for the advice.
