It depends how many people apply. I have no idea how many people apply to enviro sci, but if lots of people are applying as a back-door into life sci (which has been happening since the 'general science I' program split into four, but is more common in recent years), you can bet that it's going to make it more competitive.
There's really no way to say how competitive it will be because it depends on the number of applicants. Some programs (e.g. hth sci) have a high number of applicants every year relative to the number of spots, so you could reliably say that hth sci is competitive, but the same does not hold true for enviro sci.
How competitive it is or isn't doesn't really matter - you can't actually DO anything any differently than you otherwise would - so don't focus too much on how competitive you think a program might be.
