The zone you are pointing seems to be an ugly combination of several bad
imports. Looking in more details here for instance:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=38.03853&lon=-121.49544&zoom=16&layers=M
It is clear that the imports have not been integrated with the "existing".
So you should better discuss this on the "import" mailing list for a
possible revert or some taskforce set-up to fix all the issues.

I'm not sure that the "New tagging" of riverbanks has been really adopted,
excepted by the 16 who approved it on the wiki (is it in editors presets
?). Be careful about the wiki. Some people are really pushing for adoption
of new schemas eventhough it's not bringing real improvements. If the new
tagging is not adopted by the preset editors one year after its approval on
the wiki, you have to be carefull about the wiki content. But tagging
description improvements should be discussed on the "tagging" mailing list,
not on the 'dev' list.
