You also may want to take a look at some agricultural and resource economics programs. That's commonly where the env. econ stuff is housed. Maryland's ARE department (going from your list) would be good for this. Also Boulder, UCSB, UCSD and NC State are all good spots as well. I would say that Maryland and UCSD would definitely be your reach schools however. Not to say that you couldn't get in (I've given up trying to understand adcoms), but those are both around top 20 schools (ish).
