It has a storage capacity of 24 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3 acres, serving a drainage area of 1.2 square miles. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 45 feet, and it has a low hazard potential with a fair condition assessment.
Its location on Miller Creek not only provides flood risk reduction but also supports fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. With a maximum discharge capacity of 547 cubic feet per second, Gose plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its safety and functionality, with the last inspection conducted in June 2021.
