Direct development of contaminated sites without any remedy and restoration will bring prominent risks of environmental security, health and society. The government must pay high attention to this issue. This paper analyzes environmental risks and relevant supervision departments in different links of the process from relocation to redevelopment of industrial sites. Based on these, this paper presents the whole-process mechanism for prevention and control of environmental risks of the relocation, flow (land use change) and post-flow stages involving several government departments such as industry & information department, national land department, housing and construction department and environmental protection department. This study could provide an important reference to the establishment of effective joint supervision mechanism for redevelopment of contaminated industrial sites in China.
