The above gives:

$ldapDN = "dc=<masked>,dc=<masked>"
$ldapURI = "ldap://<masked>/$ldapDN"


$env = "sqlplus -S <masked> ``@env.sql > env.list"
Invoke-Expression $env
$envData = (Get-Content "env.list")

$envFilter = "(|"
foreach ($env in $envData) {
    $envFilter += "(cn=$env)"
}
$envFilter += ")"

$ldapEntry = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry($ldapUR, $null, $null,         [System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes]::Anonymous)
$ldapSearch = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($ldapEntry)
$ldapSearch.PageSize = 1000
$ldapSearch.Filter = $envFilter

$result = $ldapSearch.FindAll($envFilter)

You already set $ldapSearch.Filter = $envFilter so you don't need to call FindAll by passing in the filter again. Try doing this instead as your very last line of code, as it will still have your filter built into it:

$result = $ldapSearch.FindAll()

I think it's a typo:

$ldapEntry = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(
        **$ldapUR**, $null, $null, 
        [System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes]::Anonymous
    )

Try 

$ldapURI

instead of 

$ldapUR
