The black valve should always remain shut until you are ready to dump the black tank. You have built up solids in the tank...and let all the liquid drain out.

You say you are at a permanent location... so you can't drive the trailer around to let it sloosh and loosen the contents of the tank, right??
That would be the easier way to get the tank clean. The harder way (your only option then??) is to just make sure the black tank is always full before you pull the black valve.

The gray tank valve can stay open when you are parked, EXCEPT when you are draining the black tank.)
Do you have a black tank internal sprayer??
